I used to pull weeds but now I water them. Seems Herman likes them better than the St. Augustine or Wedelia.

The burrow you made him is hands down the best too!

An AWESOME tiny the tortoise with unique peaks, gee you could have named him Herman he is so small. Ha. You do spoil him, if only I could get hubby to cross fence our yard now. Hm Hm. will see.

In march Herman moved out of our garage after a long winter and began building his summer home.

Herman had no obvious use for this man made hut so he took up winter residence under the car in the garage.

Herman at home

Awesom burrow, nice job!

Ha! Didn't know that. Thanks for the update. I see the Hermanns grow to only 11inches.

The yard is largely fenced in but also runs along an unfenced creek for some ways until it hits a mangrove swamp. It is mostly fenced with wood but a few places have chain link, which according Tom the dog trainer, isn't good enough. We could build him a pen but I'm not sure this is an option...

I would like to as you say rehome him, yes. We called fish and game and they said to re-direct him to the woods, ha ha. The zoo won't accept live animal donations from the public and I will not sell him on the internet. So far we are doing the best with what we have but it seems its not good...

Herman's gone missing before, only to turn up in the middle of some giant shrub so it wasn't too worrisome when he hadn't been seen for awhile. All the neighbors know about Herman so it was when a missed call turned up on the phone from neighbor Maureen that a frantic search for Herman was...

Thanks Pam. The most amazing thing is that he goes to sleep at 4;30 and doesn't rise till 9am, then grazes your yard unattended all day. That doesn't mean I don't worry, but certainly makes him an easier animal to care for.

Yes and I started out with one cat and ended up with four, which is where I drew the limit. Too old to be 'cat woman' and too young to be the 'cat lady'.

That was my feeling, that he was 'dropped' off. Other theories include he 'floated' in since we live on a tidal creek with no seawalls.

Good to know I can feed them to our sulcatta. The fruit is much smaller than apples more like olives, I have several in the yard. I tried him on several different flowers, he rejected some but chowed down on others which made me wonder if they have an instinctual rejection of some plants over...

Is that true "they will stuff themselves till they burst"? How will I know if I'm overfeeding???
