Thanks. I'm wondering if I should try hibernating him over winter so he can be safe while we do messy work in the kitchen, but having never hibernated him before, I'm quite nervous to do this.
Summer was easy because he spent all day outside in the garden, but it's way too cold for him to be...
Hi everyone,
I feel guilty even thinking about this, but lifestyle changes mean I have less time to dedicate to my tortoise.
We are renovating a house and I have just got a new job, where I will be working more hours. I feel like I do the bare minimum for Sherman currently and that might get...
Thanks everyone, since moving house and settling into a routine, he seems more settled. I'm in the process of clearing an area of the garden for him to live in at the moment... hopefully he will be back outside soon!
Hi everyone,
we moved house in January and it's getting warm and fine enough to actually do some gardening. I've found a spot in our new garden where Sherman could safely go - it's a little walled off area where the shed currently sits. We started clearing the Ivy from around it yesterday and I...

Should I be concerned about the lack of faeces? I'd probably be more...
My hermanns tortoise seems really agitated at the moment. He's being quite aggressive and biting everything.
When he is in his table he paces around banging against the sides.
We are currently living with family and are in the middle of moving house.
He is eating and drinking fine, but I...
So my tortoise has access to the garden via a flap in his enclosure which is outside.
I've gone outside just now and caught him chowing down on a dog poo. A fresh one as I clean up after my dog every day, but sometimes I miss that he has been to the toilet.
This isn't the first time Shermann...
