Luckily it seems I got carried away. 2 days later and tort is starting to eat and drink! No nasal discharge either. Thanks for the reply.

Hello everyone, I would very much appreciate responses on this thread as I'm getting very concerned for my tortoise at this point. I own a Hermanns Tortoise who's about 15 years old and yesterday around 3pm, I took him out of hibernation. He sat under the basking light for a good while, I gave...

Thank you for the good advice. I cleaned the wound properly and put a small taped bandage on his leg. He doesn't appear to be bothered at all by it, and it's hopefully gonna heal well!

Today when I picked up my 10 year old tortoise I noticed that a scale on his left front leg stood out, it looks like it has been peeled or ripped off and sticks out from his leg, and I can't really see if there's a wound within. It looks a bit red, almost like dried blood. I tried taking some...

The thing is that he -luckily- never start grunting and bobbing. He's just sitting there :)

Very true, but I'm still curious as to why. Reptiles aren't very cuddly. :D

He has a habit of constantly circling me whenever I sit down, but this is not something I have ever seen before :D

So I sat down a while ago to drink some coffee in the sun and let my dear tort have a walk in the open - and he proceeded to sit down next to me and rest his head against my foot, and has been busy with that for the past hour... Anyone who knows what he's doing, exactly? It's cute as hell, if...

Great, going to try and feed him some later. Thanks!

Good morning tortoise lovers, I discovered that we have a large amount of these flowers in our garden, and I wonder if my Hermann can eat it? They look delicious. :) Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

I was researching and learning about pyramiding and tortoise health, got stuck here and started reading random threads of different types - still busy. :D Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

Good tips, I'll keep everything in mind and see what he likes most. Thank you. :D Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

I pray and hope for you Tank, keep fighting little man! Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

I just woke up in 05 AM, so I'll give that a shot today! :D Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

Haha, you flatter me too much :) though I'm afraid I got him when he was already grown big, his conditions were pretty simple as far as I know from the info the previous owner gave me. Lots of uv and heat, humidity and a nice diet + a little measuring of everything is what works! :tort: Owner...

Sweet pictures, happy birthday! Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

Anyone got any good tips on treats for a Hermann tort? It seems as if most if not all fruits are bad an unhealthy for them, yet it would be nice to have something extra sweet to give him once in a while! What do you guys give your tortoises? Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

What a lovely little guy, and true words, I can sit down and watch my tort for hours as he walks around :) Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

It doesn't look like it to me, but I'll take a pic and post right now for safety's sake. Owner of one little Hermann Tort. :)

Not right now, I am currently staying with my family and tort in a small house near the coast, where we often spend our summer holidays. We don't have anything for him to soak in available, so I thought he'd be alright without it for a month - he has access to water after all. I will nonetheless...
