My 2 females have lived together for a solid 2 years - before that my larger female lived with a different female for about 5 years - they never show any signs of aggression towards eachother, and both eat plenty of food - so I don’t believe they cannot be kept in a pair - however on the...
For a while I have had 2 females - but a few months ago (Feb time) I got a male from a rescue Center who was missing parts of his shell due to a fox attack.
My male lives separate to my females - I built a large outside enclosure for my torts over a year ago and split it into 2 enclosures when I...
Hello everybody, living in England like I do - it’s not often you see other tortoises bar your own.. however, walking home I found a tortoise on the side of the road walking.. I have checked his/her eyes and behind and nothing looks damaged or diseased - however the jaw is worrying me. Is this...
The measurement of the viv is 4ft by 2ft, same with her current tortoise table. As for how many grams she is, I’m not too sure - we haven’t weighed her in a while

Quick update,

She is given a variety of fruit and veg as well as tortoise food, all safe for tortoises. The calcium powder is to help with calcium deficiency which is common in all reptiles and something that is highly recommended. She has her heat pad and heat lamp on all day as well as the blind open for...
Right now she is in the tortoise table she arrived in around a year old - I’m well aware it’s time for an upgrade just working on it hoping to move her outside in the summer. She likes sawdust as a substrate as she burrows into it to keep warm - I’ve always used sawdust with any inside tortoise...
alright, mine is a hermanns. She ate maybe 75% of her meal last night, which was a plate of lettuce with some calcium powder on top, but hasnt touched her meal of lettuce and cucumber with again calcium powder I gave her around half 7 this morning.
Hi all. I have a 3 or so year old Hermanns tortoise. I work as well as being a student and want to ensure I’m being a good owner and am in no way making my tort feel uncomfortable. She sometimes goes around 2-3 days without feeding and recently during these winter months hardly leaves her heat...
