    I bought 2 Hermann's tortoises just more than a year ago. They are a little more than a year, and I have one boy and one girl. I have 2 questions/

    1. My female has an underbite. It isn't bad and isn't affecting her eating habits, etc., but is there a way to fix it or is it or is she fine?

    2. When I feed my tortoises, they both run to the dish, but the male pushes the female away until he is full. Is this domination, aggression, or normal? They both grow at the same rate, but I am concerned because I don't want my female to starve or get sick.

    Please help me! I'm so nervous for them.

    Mine do that too when feeding, and one has grown considerably more than the other. This is my fourth summer to have them and I got them as one year old babies. Try seperating them when feeding.
    Dunno about the underbite thing, why dont you go to the tortoise trust page and see if you can get help.
