That thing is as big as his boat. The ocean is terrifying.

If you're concerned about nutrients, then you should get some Mazuri tortoise diet. It has everything in it your tortoise will need and they love it. I usually soak the pellets and put them on top of the leafy greens to let the little guys eat what they want. As far as what i find at the grocery...

He's very beautiful.

I use a mixture of coco coir and orchid (fir) bark for my 3 hermann's Have a look at animal plastics enclosures, they have them in large sizes and they work well for baby hermann's. When they grow up though, they will need lots of space. Alot of people here just use plastic storage bins of...

About to drop the hottest rap mixtape of the summer!

Got Demetrius out for some sunshine, he's definitely got the posing down...

The little squirt hit 61 grams. Here he is outside for a few minutes of sunshine.

When I give my babies a bath, I try and hold each one for a period and just rub their leg and head scales while always supporting their bellies. They seem to be most distressed when their legs and stomach are not touching anything. My babies seem to enjoy the heat from my hands, but they do like...

Not sure if everyone is aware just how destructive these new 'green' forms of energy production are to the surrounding wildlife. It seems that environmental impact studies only hold up those projects not favored by politicians and guaranteed federally backed loans at stupid low interest rates...

I've got 3 year old hermann's, all were at 19 grams when i got them, now one is ~150 grams, one is ~100 grams, and one is ~50 grams. The growth does vary by quite a bit. What you should be worried about is consistent growth, and as the hatchling grows, he will gain weight faster. If he is...

Not sure about the milky eyes, perhaps a respiratory infection. I wouldn't worry about hibernating her for a couple of years, she should recover a little bit and gain some weight. She looks awfully tiny, you could improve her condition by always keeping her warm and moist. When the tortoises are...

Seems like you've got a "tort" problem. Been waiting a long time for that pun.... https://legalcareerpath.com/tort-law/

Your little one is growing just fine. I got three babies this year and they are growing very similar. It's easy to get over worried, provide for all they need and you can sit back and watch your little crawling bonsai tree grow slowly.

A few comments on the enclosure, if that is potting soil with perlite, you may want to find an alternative substrate because the tortoises will eat the little white pellets and they can lead to impaction in his digestive system. I use coco coir and orchid bark for substrate because it holds...
