Yes definitely for a minimum of 6 months.Hello tortoise friends,
on friday I`ll get a new sulcata baby, 8 months old to complete my group of now three torts.
Should I keep the new baby in quarantine and when, for how long time ?
The problem with tortoises is that they're slow ... and that includes slow to show signs of ill health.Wow, that`s a long time ! No way to shorten these 6 months ? And when the new baby looks good, is acting healthy and is good eating ?
What could be wrong with the new tort ? Herpes virus ?
The new tort comes from another breeder. He keeps the babies not together with his adult torts and he is only keeping sulcatas. He wrote me that his adult torts are all checked by a VET and never been sick, nor the babies he sells, but I know that some breeders tell you a lot of fairytails to sell their torts...
