Hi everyone,
I have a tortoise table for my 2-year-old Hermann's tortoise and I am wondering whether it is the right size. It is about 90cm×45cm. It can have an extension added but that will be double the size and again, will she outgrow it?
Thank you,
Mia

That is roughly the size of a 40 gallon tank. It is the absolute smallest size I would recommend for a brand new tiny hatchling. It is way too small for a 2 year old. Doubling it will help. Eventually you will need something 244x122cm as a minimum. Bigger would be better. Tortoises need lots of room to move about.

The extension is 90cm×75cm added on to the 90cm×45cm. The height of both of them is 21.5cm. Is this ok? Or will I have to make another extension?
Thank you
