Also I've read that summer squash, cucumber, and pumpkin flowers are safe for other species, ok for Hermann's too? I'm growing those (along with strawberries, raddish, carrot, tomato, dill, basil, and peppers). I'm thinking I might try to dehydrate some leaves/flowers and store for the winter. I...

We got our cutie a week ago Tuesday, a well starting hatchling. She seems to be doing great, eating, hiding, basking, etc. But wow she sleeps late! She's usually put herself up by 7-8p and isn't up until 10-11a the next day? I've read on here that's pretty common for the babies, just looking for...

Tortini is settling in beautifully! We went with this enclosure to help with humidity while she's a babe. When she's bigger we'll have a big custom table built. Thank you everyone for the tips! I'll definitely keep asking questions lol.

Tortini is home!! Arrived perfectly from TortStork yesterday! We're definitely enjoying watching beer settle in, hoping we give her the best home possible!

Thanks!! That's what I'd read about the pellet food as well. I'm going to set up a grow table and see what all we can grow ourselves. Thanks for the tip on the ZooMed pellets, I'll definitely grab those too. I just remember how helpful the chinchilla forums were lol, I was super glad to find...

Perfect, thank you!!

These work in your opinion? I'd mix them (not sure why I've got the idea of mixing in my head), or not if not necessary. I've been reading so much that it's getting hard to keep straight lol Edit to add pic

Can you send me a link to the orchid bark? There's so much disparity online, I'm not sure which product.

I'm ready to be lambasted lol. I know there are opinions on everything. The care sheets here say organic soil, other people say no-no. I just want a substrate good for tort that she can burrow in, that will help with humidity that I can keep clean and afford. Nothing has been bought yet, fyi, so...

Sorry up front for the wall of text! If this belongs somewhere else, please tell me, I'm brand new here. We're getting our first tort. Technically it'll be my daughter's, but since she's 4, it's really a family pet. We've decided on a female Eastern Hermann's. It'll be a well stared hatchling...

I think we'll do the hatched. Now to finish putting everything together!!! Thank you!

Thank you so much door the tips! We did consider Russians and Red Foot, and from everything I read the Hermann's seems like a good fit. I think I found one from Tortstork!! 😁

I'm looking for a Hermann's for our first tortoise. I live in Northern Colorado and am having a really hard time finding one. I'd prefer to adopt/rescue or get from a local breeder. So far, I haven't been able to find a breeder, and the reptile rescue requires an outdoor enclosure. We'll have an...
