Default active tort,happy tort???

my tort is very very active throughout the day wether in the house or outside,she runs around everywhere and never hides,i used to look after a tort and it hid all the time.does this mean mine is happy or stressed?she then goes in her hide at 8pm and pops out the following morning at 8am for her breakfast.

sounds more like a happy , active tortoise to me. if it was stressed then it would probably hide.

yep she`s a horsfield which i thought was male but is actually female ,she loves her food so i have to only give enough or she`d be the size of a whale.seems happy to bite or nibble anything in her sight as in feet(ouch) shoes,toys,towel etc.but she is cool as! and so funny to watch strutting her stuff!!!!
