Welcome to the forum! I don’t know the answer to your question, but please take a look at these links and come back with questions-
Sticky: HERMANN'S TORTOISE CARE
These are a territorial and solitary species of tortoise, and they need to be separated.
They need a minimum enclosure size of 8x4 feet each.
You have some beautiful tortoises!
They do not appear to be pure Dalmatians. Most likely eastern Hermann’s (T. h. boettgeri) originating close to the border of where the Dalmatians are native to (intergrades).
But I did read that post about Hermanns...and in it he gives the dimensions of his enclosure that houses 2 males and 6 females...and that post says they will encounter each other in the wild and just to watch for bullying and be prepared to separate them if it happens. . So I am confused why you are both telling me to read it and telling me it is wrong? If it's wrong then I can separate them...but if it's right I shouldn't have to...
Tortoises do fine in groups. They do not do fine in pairs.
In groups, the bullying is spread out, and they establish a pecking order. They would still be much happier separated, but it could work.
In pairs, it is one tortoise always bullying the other, and it never gets a break. In pairs, there is always one dominant and one subordinate, so it won’t work.
Sorry for not clarifying
Ahh...I see..
So if I want to keep them together, what is the minimum number for a group? And I guess I should separate them at least unless I get more.
Also, is there any way to guesstimate their age? They are about 5"
