Hi, I'm new to this forum but I have owned my Hermann Tortoise, Shearer for 8 years.

My hermann's tortoise is still a baby, but it is going to outgrow its enclosure in a few months and I am thinking of building his final enclosure soon. I have read some threads about enclosure sizes, but none of them were exact. What would you recommend?

Good evening, I’m just looking for some advice as I rehomed a tortoise yesterday and seem to be finding conflicting advice online. A friend’s relative was giving their tortoise away ‘free to a good home’ and, as I was concerned about where it would end up, I volunteered to take her on. They...
