Hello, I recently got a rescue Hermanns Tortoise named Ralph, but I’m not sure that he’s entirely healthy. He’s about four years old and I don’t know if he’s a good size or not. He’s about 6-7 inches in diameter. I know he’s pyramiding a little bit, but he’s getting a lot of fresh food and a calcium supplement to help with it. He has a UV light and a heat lamp as well in his enclosure. I built the enclosure myself and it has a hiding place and a ramp for him to climb on. There’s a big water dish that he can climb into and soak in. When I got him, his beak was really long so I filed it down a little bit each day so it’s easier for him to eat. I was just wondering if he looks healthy and if there’s anything else I can do for him. I just fear that he’s an unhealthy size, how big should he get? Thanks.
