Hiya, I'm Sue and we live in Wiltshire in the UK. I have two tortoises. 1 Hermann's (Bertie) and 1 Sulcata (Rosie Petal). Bertie, I've had since 2008 and he was a rescue so I don't know any history or age. What I do know is that he is quite cheeky and loves the top of his tickled and certainly knows me and my voice. He can be hidden in the garden and I call him from the door and he will come out and make his way to me. In the winter he is safely sleeping indoors. Rosie Petal she was 8 weeks old when I got her and that was 2009. She follows Bertie and Bertie follows her around. Quite a double act. Rosie is now bigger than Bertie and heavier. Obviously, as time goes by I will have to watch how she behaves towards him and there may be a time to keep them in separate enclosures. But for now that are friends. I have just built them a new dig proof and safe enclosure. I dog have three dogs running around. Even though they have never ever bothered with the tortoises I just want them safe for when I'm at work. I've looked through the posts and realise there is always something new to learn and ideas to be shared. So I really looking forward to being part of the group.
