    Flipping

    Totally unrelated but it’s been on my mind lately and your photos sparked the thought. When did you start making water accessible to your Hermann? We are still bathing daily and i spray him and the enclosure multiple times a day to make sure there is standing water on rocks etc.. but how do you...

    Flipping

    Thanks! Good to know others start doing it for no apparent reason. He has stopped doing it and i haven’t found him flipped for about 2 weeks. Fingers crossed it stays that way good lick with your little guy! And no the camera isn’t crazy! It’s the on,y way i would be sane!

    Flipping

    I sprinkle it occasionally, i figure if he needs it he will eat the cuttle bone. I hope that’s ok

    So sorry for your loss! We lost our first Hermann just a couple months ago and decided to give it one more try. I pray that this little guy is a lifetime pet. He seems to be doing better but only time will tell.

    Flipping

    What a great suggestion!! It makes total sense for what happened, he hasn’t done it in a few days and that’s right about when i reintroduced his favorite which is Romain. I know it’s not great for him so i was trying to ween him off of it and last week i only put his other greens in his mixes...

    Flipping

    so my little guy (about 7 months old) is all of a sudden flipping over multiple times a day. I put a camera on him so we have been able to flip him back relatively quickly but i can’t get him to stop. This is day 2. I have pictures and videos Uploaded. He is trying to climb the walls 1.) i...

    Staying with same food

    hi all!!! So Charlie Brown is doing great! I am very pleased with his health. When we purchased him, we were given a full container of food pellet that he had been eating and ate well so i didn’t want to change that on him. However, it’s time to order more and i don’t know whether to stick with...

    So flusterated about to just give up :(

    First let me say i am not an expert but also a beginner with a partially open top enclosure. I have followed the advice of Yvonne g and saw a HUGE difference. I stopped spraying and started putting a little water in each morning during his bath and turning the soil! Worked WAY better. I also...

    Small flying bugs

    just the other day i noticed small flying bugs similar to a gnat in my enclosure. I squashed them all and the next morning found more. They were ‘crawling’ on the soil, when disturbed they fly away. And when i got CB out of his hide for his morning soak i noticed there were a couple in his moss...

    New baby tomorrow

    Update: little man is doing great from what i can tell. Eating very well, daily, exploring his table and finding reprieve in his hiding spots. This baby totally burrows himself into the soil. Literally 100% covered, had to move dirt around to find him, in the dark section of his table. Is this...

    New baby tomorrow

    We recently lost a baby hermann after just 2 months of loving him! We have made a few changes to our set up to provide the best chance at success for a little guy we are hopefully bringing home tomorrow. I am attaching a picture of our previous enclosure ( and one of our little cutie who didn’t...

    Tortoise is not eating.

    What substrate is that? Coconut coir and Pete moss? Mixed 50/50? We put our moss on top maybe I need to crumble smaller and mix

    Tortoise is not eating.

    Thank you very much! I truly appreciate the help! I hate that our efforts didn’t yield any improvement for our little guy. It was obviously too little or too late. He didn’t pick back up quick enough. 2 weeks is all we had of issues eating before he passed QUOTE="Sharonnepon, post: 1539438...
