Update on Herbie

[Eadie]

I thought I had a Greek buuuuut found out a few days ago he's a Russian. He's called Frank. He's 5 but he came to me only last July. Your in for so much fun and love. They are amazing animals. Lot's of care and research but such amazing friends. They have such personalities

Aww Frank's a stunner 😍
I've just posted asking whether Herbie is from east or west as I haven't a clue and I just want to know as much as I can about him
I can honestly say that I've wanted a tort for as long as I can remember and he hasn't disappointed he has stolen my heart 💓
I'm just over worrying ATM as this is my 1st tortoise 🙄
I worry is he too hot too cold has he eaten enough has he had enough exercise the list goes on 🤣
I'm sure I'll settle down in a few years 😂😂😂😂😂

You need to check the breed's needs for temperature and humidity etc. Feeding is varied as different breeds require more or less food. Frank eats as much as he wants. He's not an over eater. I use the tortoise table for different veg. It'll show you what is good, for moderation and what's not to be fed. If you Google his breed you can get fact sheets. And I'm lucky enough to have the last people who had Frank to give me advice. I'll be honest it's a lot of reading and research but once you know what Herbie needs etc you'll have an easy time. It's all about knowledge

Thanks
I did alot of research before I got Herbie and feel like I've never done so much reading 😂
I feel like I've set everything up as it should be and if Im not sure then I ask on this forum where everyone is so friendly and helpful 🙂
Think I'm just over worrying 😂

The people here really know there stuff. I was reading these forum's long before I joined. But worrying means you care. If you have safe and okay area's to let him out do it. Frank loves getting out and running around. He's also got a fondness for finding hiding places and climbing. He once got up my slippers then inside the cuff of my trousers. I'm just a climbing frame
