    Hibernation UK

    Hello, This will be my first time hibernating my two tortoises, they've been hibernated by their previous owner but I do not know what method was used. They have spent the last week or so solely indoors due to lots of rain but do usually go out during the day. They currently have a mercury...

    Outdoor shelter and lighting

    Thank you! Yes plan on making the hide/bed box lockable as we are in a village. They have lived together for years, they actually lived as a group of 14!

    Hermanns Boys or Girls?

    Oh gosh! Olive (or Oliver!) weighs 1329grams and Agatha weighs 1567grams - we have no idea of their ages but think Olive is a bit younger as her shell is in better condition.

    Hermanns Boys or Girls?

    Hello, We've recently adopted two tortoises as their own passed away. We were told they were both females but one has started having a little pink bulge protrude from her bottom. Photo one is Olive (the one with the protruding lump but it's tucked away) and photo two is Agatha (no lump). I've...
