Okay, so I am looking after my boyfriend's sister's tortoise, Michelangelo, for this next week. She just dropped him off and jeez, this tortoise is mental.
I don't know anything about Hermanns, those of you who know me, know I have lovely, calm, serene adult leopard. This tortoise is tiny and VERY lively!
I'm met Michelangelo a few times and based on what they've told me about him, he's very much a 'house' tortoise. He pretty much wanders their flat all day and very rarely goes outside as they have no garden. I find this weird, I told Craig (my boyfriend) he's not wandering our house, I don't care what he usually does! I have a feeling the roaming is why he constantly tries to get out of his enclosure (pictures to follow).
What are Hermanns like? Are they normally very quick and lively?
He hasn't stopped climbing, running, banging etc etc for the last 2 hours.
He's pyramided, quite small ( but then I don't know how big they should be) beak is slightly overgrown, and the food he came with was romaine, radicchio and cucumber. No thermometers in the enclosure and not a lot of substrate (do they dig)?
He is so loud moving around I can hear him from downstairs and I'm watching the Great British Bake Off pretty loud
Tell me about your Hermanns, please!
