Hermanns tortoise

[mikeyjuffs]

Can you put 2 Hermann tortoises together? Many thanks

 

[Yvonne G]

Can you? Yes. But is it a good idea? Not really. Tortoises are territorial and they are loners. They don't want other tortoises in their territory.

Oh right it's only that I've seen a few in the vivatiums when I've been to the pet shop and didn't know

 

[Yvonne G]

Pet shop tortoise displays are a whole different situation. That's just for display. And if you stood there all day and really watched the tortoises you would see they are totally stressed out and really not getting along. Not only that, but they've been displaced from their territory. First they were at the wholesaler, then at the pet store. They haven't had a chance to claim a territory.

Oh right I get you thanks for your help how big do these hermann torts get?

 

[WithLisa]

Eastern or western hermanns?

 

[mikeyjuffs]

On the paperwork we have it says she's from Croatia doesn't say?

 

[WithLisa]

Then it's an eastern Hermanns, adult females are around 8 inches long.

 

[mikeyjuffs]

Is that as an adult?

 

[mikeyjuffs]

And males are smaller right?

 

[WithLisa]

Yes, about 6 inches.
