Why have they started biting each other ?
by carrie asquith
I have 3 horsefeild's and recently one has started biting another one. I have been told they are both male (these 2 are the smallest out of the set). When Hector is been 'attacked' he hisses and pulls himself in his shell, then refuses to come out. I have always got to them on time and managed to separate them, but im worried that Hector is seriously going to hurt him. I have noticed this happens when they are out and about in the garden or house, but haven't seen it happen in their table top enclosure. I have read that Hector maybe trying to mate ? But im not too sure as ive read that the 'bitten' tortoise wouldn't mind and hector hates it. Please can you help ? Carrie x
