Moving My Baby Hermann's Tortoise To A New House

[Mia&Felicity]

I am moving house soon (in about a week) and I need help. I'm not moving to my new house immediately, I'm moving to my grandparents for a few weeks, then I'm going to the new house. My baby Hermann's needs to move too, and I hear that if you move a tortoise the will get respiratory disease. She, like me, is moving twice. Should I take her to the vet? If I do, isn't that just going to make her more ill by moving her again? Thank you.

Moving a tortoise does not give it a respiratory infection. Improper temps will.

Ok, thank you Cheryl Hills. I will make sure her temperatures are the same as they are now when I'm moving her around.

All the best! Let us know how everything goes. Which part of UK? It's still cold there, right?
And welcome to the site!

Thank you, I will. I live in Essex, England. It's early April, and yesterday it got to 17°c.

Just thought I would update you on the move. I have been in my new house for a week now, and Flic has been doing fine. I've had no trouble (exept for the fact that she is naturally naughty) with her. She seems very healthy; I took her outside earlier, and she ate some nemesia flowers but being her, she tried to run into the next-door neighbours front garden.
