Hi, I have seen this before when a friend of mine's female yellowfoot came here to stay while she moved. My female redfoot would follow that poor yellowfoot around (similar size) and bite bite bite at her. Obviously I couldnt keep them together and they stayed separately. More recently I obtained a female cherryhead. After a quarantine period I decided to put her in with my female redfoot who is quite a bit bigger. I didnt expect it to work but she leaves this tortoise alone completely and they get along just fine. Different personalities? Some get along better than others? I dunno. I am glad this pairing is working out since the cherryhead is a permanent resident.
