Hi all,
We have 2 baby Hermann tortoises (born July 2017) called Bob and Jeff. Bob was the runt of the batch of eggs - born very tiny, and isn't growing as fast as Jeff. However he is a happy chappy who loves climbing and bathing. I see from joining this forum that you shouldn't keep tortoises in pairs so we will separate soon to see if that helps Bob. Jeff is larger and loves rocket & dandelion leaves. We live in the south of England with 3 children, who are fascinated by our new pets.
Looking forward to immersing ourselves in the mountains of helpful info on this forum as, whilst I grew up with a lovely Hermann tortoise (found in a friends compost heap when I was 8 - he eventually died of old age when I was 28), we're new to keeping and raising tortoises from birth.
Below are pictures of Bob & Jeff - a few months old. Jeff has grown significantly, Bob not so much, although he is slowly getting larger.
