How To Identify Active Gopher Tortoise Holes: Key Signs To Look For
To determine if a gopher tortoise hole is active, observe for fresh vegetation (indicating their diet), tortoise tracks (revealing their movement), or a visible tortoise entering or leaving the burrow. The presence of fecal pellets near the burrow suggests active tortoises. Additionally, look for dirt mounds at burrow entrances, as they regulate temperature within the burrow. By considering these signs, you can accurately determine the activity level of gopher tortoise holes.
