I've noticed some assertive behavior when two or more torts are feeding together. A little biting, shoving, or sitting on a pile of food.

Of course at this time of year the tortoises may be eating less because it's winter time. My 1.5 yr old russians were down for about 6 weeks but I brought them back up after a stretch of warm weather. Now they are eating everything they can. I've noticed some aggression during feeding between the two of them. One is slightly larger and tends to dominate, so I make sure the food is spread out so everyone gets a chance.
