hi, i currently own a spur thighed tortoise but sometimes i feel guilty because she is on her own and has nothing to do other than walk around eat sleep and bath so i was wondering if it would be safe to own another tortoise, the same gender but a different breed (horse field tortoise) would this make my tortoise happy? i am fully prepared to take care for two tortoises at the same time thanks kate xx
