It's looking nice and he sure is enjoying the sunshine.

The last pic is my indoor setup, does anyone know if full spectrum lights will harm the tortoise? I wanted to keep some clover growing healthy in his table.

He's so tiny and cute!! They say the colored lights are not good and can make the tortoise eat non food items confusing them. Not sure if this applies to grow lights.

Good to know, i took the grow lights out anyways because he trampled my meadow of greens before they could get past seedlings.

My rabbits ate all my seed mix I had in a bed in my front yard, but the plants in raised beds have survived so don't be discouraged. Next year I will put netting in the front hehe. Rabbits have been in overload this year.

I got the video to work, a few seconds in, Hermes sees an inch worm and tries to eat it.

Adorable attempts at trying to eat an insect.
