#hermannstortoise

I have a 7 year old Hermanns tortoise. He will not wake up from hibernation. I've tried bathing him daily, I've partitioned off his enclosure so he is in the warmer half as he defaults to burrowing in the cold half of his 5ft enclosure. It's still quite cold here in Ireland at this time of year...

My tort is 2 years old, his shell is kinda flat and bumpy and I’ve gotten conflicting answered on humidity and enclosures. I know for a fact that his place is too dry, I’ve ordered a humidifier HOWEVER, I’ve read if he breathes water droplets it’ll be bad for him, so I don’t understand how I’m...

Hii, my name is Ji and I adopted three male baby hermann tortoise (JH, Rio and Pilo) 11 months ago. Now they are around 9cm in size. My other two is fine but I noticed that my biggest one (JH) had always had runny nose frequently and his breathing sounds heavy at times. Their enclosure is quite...

Hi everyone, I just wanted some insight on whether my tortoise is a boy or a girl. He/she is an eastern Hermann’s tortoise, about the age of 8 months. I personally think my tortoise is a girl because of its short tail, and

I’ve had my baby tortoise for about 2 months already, so they are used to their enclosure by now. They are about 4-5 months old now. I’ve noticed that they used to be pretty active, moving all over their enclosure and eating normally, but now, they are sleeping most of the day and only awake...

Hello! Very new to this, got my little tort only days ago (almost a week) names Marlo. He seems pretty healthy although I keep being told different things. During the day the enclosure maintains a temp between 30-32 on the hot end and 25-27 down the cool end. The thing that confuses me is at...

Hello everyone. I’ve been thinking about treating my tort Rupert to his first wooden home. He’s currently in a glass enclosure though Im eager to move him out of there as soon as I can. I,ve made sure that he can’t see out of the glass by covering it with a cut up poster boarder. I’ve decided on...

Hi everyone! Rèmy is a bit over a year now and I've been wondering if he is actually a she. What do you guys think? Looking at the cloaca it's definitely asterisk shaped, but also it's a young tortoise still. Please share your thoughts. ??????

Hi all! I have an Eastern Hermann tortoise who is almost 10 months old and I was giving him his bath and noticed the underside of his shell is dented on both sides in the middle, it’s freaking me out what does this mean? It’s still hard but a noticeable dent on each side that was not there a...

About 1 year old ♡ Destroying his tiny cakeumber treat ??? I do need to ask since the papers say otherwise and I don't believe that he could be over 1, weighing around 50 to 53 grams. Any kind of speculation is welcome!

I have a Hermann's tortoise that has been with me for about 4 years now. I am unsure of the gender (bought it off of someone keeping it in very poor conditions) but am assuming male. He lives alone in a large area but is constantly climbing the walls. No matter how much enrichment I provide...
