Hi all,
Great to be on here
My little 3 year old male Hermanns Herbie is displaying some new beahviours recently.
I took him to the reptile vet for his check up and she said he was healthy and happy and that it was quite normal for tortoises to nip and bite at things.
Herbie has recently started to nip at his own front legs for several minutes until I stop him. He seems to be doing it more frequently but never breaks the skin.
Could he be hungry? I feed him every day now & feed him a variety of foods including flowers and weeds.
Does anyone have any experience of this as it's certainly bothering me as well as little Herbie, I just wish he could talk to tell me himself ;-)
BIG thanks
Helen
