Continental tortoises recognize their owners. Although the IQ of tortoises is not high and they are not as smart as cats and dogs, tortoises raised from childhood to adulthood can still recognize their owners. Although they are cold-blooded animals, they can identify people through smell and sound. After getting along with their owners for a long time, they can accurately identify their owners.

How to make a tortoise recognize its owner

1. First, prepare a comfortable living environment for the tortoise, feed the tortoise every day, and clean up the tortoise. You should also bask the tortoise every day. The tortoise will like what the owner does very much and will be more likely to recognize the owner.

2. You can give the tortoise a name and call it by name when feeding it every day. Over time, it will know its own name, and can also put food in its hands to give to the tortoise, so that the tortoise will no longer be afraid of its owner.

3. The owner can use food to train the tortoise during the feeding process, but these actions must be repeated step by step so that the tortoise can form a conditioned reflex.
