baby hermanns

Hello, I purchased a baby hermanns tortoise this weekend from the reptile convention I went to and I was wondering what her basking temps should be at? I’ve seen so many variations but I want to be sure that I get it right. I’ve seen 90-95 but I’ve also seen 95-100. What should it be? She is...

Hi everyone, I have a teeny little hermans (Norman) who has been impacted. First vet I went to was very calm, explained the situation and gave me lactulose (laxatives) and reptoboost for nourishment. Told me to bathe him and only feed him watery food with lactulose on it. If it hadn't cleared...

Hello, I recently purchased a baby Hermanns tortoise and I was wondering whether it's ok for me to take him into the garden because the weather is good at the moment. I understand that I have to be extremely careful to not lose him, as tortoises can run, but other than that is it ok? I have not...

We have had our Hermanns tortoise for around a year now, he is roughly two years old. He appears fit and healthy, eats a varied diet and is bathed daily. Lately he has been spending more time under his heat lamp and I have noticed changes to his skin around his backend. Is anyone able to advise...

Hello, I'm researching/preparing to get my first Hermann's Tortoise. I'm looking for advice on an indoor enclosure. After doing much research, I'd like to go with the closed chamber/high humidity at least for the first year or so. I really want something that is aesthetically pleasing, as it...

I got my baby in the mail today! He seems to be okay, but he isn't really moving around a ton. I have the heat and light lamp. He has water and food but he is so small Im not sure he can get to them. Also my substrate seems difficult for him to move over. Is this because its the wrong substrate...

I’ve recently bought a baby Hermann Tortoise. I’ve had him for 5 days now and he hasn’t eaten or drank anything as far as I know. I’ve tried feeding him iceberg lettuce, tomato and cucumber along side his vitamin and calcium pellets. All he does is sleep! Any suggestions on what might the issue...

Hello everyone, I bought two hermann tortoises 2 months old two days ago. I have all the equipment the seller advised . One settled straight away and eat almost immediately the other had nothing on day one or two and has only eaten a tiny bit today. I have bathed them both, the one that has...

Hi, My 3 month old Hermanns have been displaying some behaviour that seems to be sexual (see video). Is this sexual or bullying and should I separate them to protect the object of the advances?
