I need help. I will try to make this as short as possible.
I've had a female Burmese Mountain tortoise for several years.
Recently, we laid new sod near her house. She dug up/dragged the grass a good distance to her enclosure, and looked to be making a nest, for lack of a better word.
I had long planned to move her house to another higher, dryer part of the yard due to all the rain we've been getting this year in Florida(and the upcoming hurricane season)...I did that, and also moved all the grass she had accumulated with it.
Now, she is digging up/dragging all the ground plants and grass that is around her house, and making a pile of it in one corner of her enclosure. She does it all day long... I even dumped a large pile of grass clippings there. She dragged that inside the house, then continued with the "live" stuff.
My wife is not happy with all the destruction in the yard, so I have to come up with a solution. I really don't want to sell her/put her up for adoption, but I will if I can't resolve this problem...
Help!
