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

Tortoises do best in single housing systems. They live completely alone in the wild. Adding another turtle may cause unnecessary stress, fighting, and potential spread of disease. You can consider adding enrichment for Georgia such as various fresh edible plants or revamping her enclosure.
