Hi,
I have read many of the posts on similar topics, but wanted to get feedback just in case.
My 2 yr old hermann, Peanut, has been slightly less responsive than normal the past two days, but no other symptoms. Today we found him submerged in his bath. Usually he stays in the shallow end, but...
Hi :)
Due to some career changes, we are considering the possibility of moving to another country. We have a hermann, around 10 months old and I was wondering what the process would be to move your tortoise to another country. (I'm in the US and we are considering countries in East Asia)
We...
Hi guys,
I posted this video of my tortoise before: back in May.
He's still trying to bite on to the side of his food plate (slate) or rocks in his enclosure. These rocks are twice the size of his body but he keeps trying to take a bite of it. I catch him doing this 2-3 times a week.
I'm...
I have purchased the Broadleaf Tortoise Forage Blend from etsy 3 times, and I seem to end up with mostly chicory.
My tortoise loves clovers so I was looking for clover seeds and came across the Buck Forage Plot Mix Seeds, also on etsy. The webpage states that the Buck Forage Plot Mix contains...
Hi all- Hope you're having a good week :)
Our baby hermann has been biting/snapping on the edge of the food plate, which is a slate cheese board. It's biting on it hard enough that I can hear it snapping.
I haven't seen it bite on anything else. We have a couple cuttlebones which he's never...
I posted some questions about lighting and based on it we made some changes to our enclosure. I was hoping to get your thoughts on the lighting positions.
We are using two combos, but there are only 1 ceramic heat emitter bulbs in each (one 100W and one 150W). We have this set up with this...
I have read that generally tortoises have good vision, but from early on (when we got him at 22grams), I noticed that our hermann had some trouble aiming. It would take him multiple tries to get his mouth on the food.
He will open and close his mouth mid air multiple times before actually...
Hi-
Our hermann is just around 30grams. I noticed small white spots on his neck/leg during his warm bath today.
Have any of you seen this before? I did some searching but only so references to shell rot/spots on shell. It's almost like discoloration of the skin but only on the left side of his...

I purchased this coco fiber from Amazon from EnRoot Products ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M98KOP3/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20)
It doesn't actually expand to 10quarts, more like 7-8, but it's a convenient design.
I was mixing it up with fir bark and noticed small clear glass/plastic...
Hi guys-
Our baby hermann has been active and eating well. We've had him for almost two months now. He's approx. 30 grams.
We've been mindful of pyramiding and I've been noticing these ridges/gaps(?) in the plastron. I wasn't sure if this normal.
I'm uploading multiple angles. Could you take...
Our baby hermann (28grams) keeps trying to climb the corners of his enclosure. We have hide in the cooler corner and a humid hide as well.
I read in one of the posts that having more plants would give me more secure spots to roam, and prevent the wall climbing.
I am considering some plants to...
Hi-
I have a baby hermann (approx. 23 grams) we've had for 3 weeks now.
we don't have access to fresh weeds in the winter months so we've relied on everything we can find at grocery stores.
we have tried the various veggies from the caresheet, and the only thing that gets touched are endives...
