Hi everyone!
We got our amazing little Hermanns tortoise around 2 weeks ago from a local breeder. His name is Esio (after the Roald Dahl book Esio Trot), he's 6 months old and he seems to have settled in really well!
His favourite food so far seems to be dandelions and aloe vera and he won't touch any dried stuff. He hates baths ? but loves climbing and sliding off things so we've given him a few things to do that safely in his table.
He has flipped himself a couple of times but I think we've managed to fix it so this won't happen again. I have seen him flip himself back though.
He is pretty active when he's awake but seems to spend a lot of time sleeping and takes a while to wake up in the mornings. I'm putting it down to him being 6 months old. And to be honest, I can't really blame him - I love a good sleep too.
I've added a couple of pictures of him and his table. If anyone has any suggestions or guidance for us, please comment! Still trying to get this right but this forum has been a huge help!
