    Tiny insects floating in water bowl

    The last couple of days I've found patches of tiny floating insects in Cece's water bowl. Each time I've removed the water and thoroughly washed the bowl etc but at the moment it seems like they're going to keep returning. My main concern is whether they pose any risk to me tortoise.

    New baby Hermann not eating much/at all

    I've had a new baby Hermann for about two weeks now and she's never been that bothered by food or eaten that much and it's starting to concern me. In the morning she has a soak (which is when I put her food down) and she'll completely ignore it. She's very active though and spends all day...

    Hello from little Plop!

    Little plop is a 10 months old Hermann tortoise and a little adventurer who loves to climb. He's so cute and friendly! This has lead to his disappearance in the garden that some of you may have already seen. Hopefully he'll re-emerge from the garden soon so we can be reunited!

    Lost Hermann's tortoise, West Mids, UK

    This is the second day my 10month old Hermann tortoise has been out in the garden and he has already escaped! It seems he was aided by the dog who nudged the wood forming his temporary enclosure, allowing him to make a break for it. I've been looking for him all day. He must still be in the...
