Non performing male tortoises
Ive ended up with two males and 1 female they are all between 2 and 3 if the boys get to the girl they will mount her and do the squeaking but they never get there penis out I only see them getting it out to rub on stones
Is this a age thing or do I have two under performers? |

So under performers at that age is normal:0) Males of most species will practice as soon and as much as they can:0)

have to agree at that age they are far too young to be mating, might be best to seperate them for a while if you can till they are all of a size suitable for breeding successfully and more importantly safely for the female
