Tickle & scratch

CherryBrandy · 01-09-2015, 09:12 PM

One of my spur goes under a wooden branch and sticks his bottom in the air and scratches the top of his shell against it from side to side. Today he stretched as far up as possible on his hind legs and did same wiggle under my bicycle peddle . I stroked the top of his shell and he went mad like a dog wagging his tail except his shell / motion was mad from side to side like scratching an itch. I have seen this before but wonder if anyone else has noticed it? Do you think their shells get itchy?
Is he telling me Strictly is nearly on ? Please don't say I am the only one and have a weird tortoise that wiggles when scratched ! CB
