Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately here in England we don't get a lot of sun, and when we do, it's usually cold :(

Any tips on how to do that on a fairly large scale?

Thanks, I guess there's no way of preserving the amount of dandelion leaves without them turning to mush then :( such a waste.

Hi guys, I have a gorgeous little hermann tort, settled in nicely, however i'm wanting to make him an outside enclosure for when the weather is nice (it's the UK, it's rare :(). I currently have a buttload of dandelions and leaves that I give to Sheldon in his meals, however, i'll have to pull...

Hi, this website doesn't ship outside of the US, and i'm in the UK. Thanks anyway.

So I will be picking up my Hermann on Saturday and want to get some planting done as soon as I can. Does anyone have any suggestions for seed mixes. I've seen some on Amazon but I can't see which kinds are the best. They'll be grown in a growbox or two. I'll likely buy some safe flower seeds to...

Found the search function, all pretty much bad. Thanks!

So, my mum has a greenhouse and has just planted peppers, chilli, brocolli, cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, water melon, and beetroot. I had a look through the plant listings, but couldn't find these on there as I don't know what the leaves look like. Can anyone tell me if the above...

Okay great. This will be what I buy then. Is it the same rule with the bagged food, to see however much they can eat in 10 minutes? Is that just once a day, or does it change with the bagged food? I have a small plot of shallow soil in the garden, which I fully intend to relay soil in and plant...

I'm not sure if links are allowed to external sites. I don't think we have that food available in the pet stores near me, but they have something called Komodo Holistic Tortoise food. Could you tell me if that's any good?

Is there any recommendations on food that comes in a bag if the right weeds aren't readily available? Is there anywhere that sells the right kinds of weeds?

Yeah, that certainly seems like the easiest and safest method for it. How often should I mist it with the topsoil/sphagnum mix? Also, is there any recommendations as a daily meal? I don't have a garden and would like to feed my little guy as organically and healthily as possible. I really...

I'm getting my tortoise from Paws for Thought, and they sell sphagnum moss so I'll pick up a bag of this along with topsoil. what kind of ratio should I mix it in? The substrate they provide at P4T is bizarre looking and I don't think it's right at all. It's some kind of pellet substrate. I...

Hi, thanks! I have read the care sheet, however this only says peat moss or coir. We've had legislation over in the UK against the use of peat moss so it's not as regularly available. What kind of substrate would you recommend for use in a table. As I said, I will be misting regularly to ensure...

What would you recommend for a substrate for the little guy. I was going to buy a bag of topsoil and regularly mist it. Is there a kind of hide I can buy that would hold in the moisture for it? I've read the caresheet on here, however i'm not sure my local garden centre has the kind of mulch it...

No to the potato leaves, carrot and corn leaves sparingly. Gotcha. What is a recommended perfect diet for a hermann? The pet shop had cucumber in their bowl with lettuce, but i'm to understand cucumber offers no nutritional value.

Hi! Definitely. The only information I got from the petshop was that they could sell me everything i needed to get started. Everything else i've found out by reading through this website and some others. Also ordered a couple of books on tortoise care too. If i'm going to do this, i'm sure as...

Hi everyone. I'm new to exotic pets and have done a ton of research on tortoises over the last couple of months and have decided a Hermann is the best way for me to go. I was wondering if you could let me know anything that might not necessarily be told to me by the petshop that I will need to...
