Oh wow, that house is so cute too lol. I like the bookcase idea! My hubby could possibly help me with that. I want to get it right to see her move around more in her house. Not that I expect her to be moving all the time, but I mean like she does just sit there for ages, which I would have...

Hermanns Tortoise, 3 years old. Best little pet! New at caring for this little one

Thank you so much for all that info! I did think her house was small as she's actually just a little bigger than my hand. I saw a beautiful tortoise table on eBay that is in the shape etc of a tortoise, so id have to check the sizes on that. As house is on the small side, should I bring her out...

I bought a hermanns turtle about 4 days ago and it's happy to move around outside it's home but inside it doesn't move around much. I've seen her go get food at times, but other than eating she just tucks herself in at the corner of her house and stays there. For ages. She's around 3 years old...
