So glad you told me they dont eat grass! I thought he was just being picky! ? Love the info on the link - funnily enough I read this the other day too!. I have made a list of things to buy - supplements, Testudo Seed Mix, and fine Orchid Grade Bark. Thanks Again Taco's bath, the water was...

Hi Tom I did wonder about his weight. He does feel solid and dense. I don’t think he does take on enough water though. I am right at this moment soaking him and knowing that the exercise is good for him, I won’t worry about him trying in vain to climb out! I will order some weeds seeds...

Thank you so much for your answer and extra info! ????

Thanks guys!! Really appreciate your comments. Do you know if he will grow much bigger ? And is his ( thanks!!!???) weight ok for his age ? I love this forum ? And really appreciate your knowledge and experience everyone

Hi Taco is now approximately 5 years old. We have had him for 4.5 years. He brumates each winter, outside in his little Den from Mid Oct - Mid Feb. He has his own area of 3m x 2.5m. With rocks, hills, tunnels, wild weeds and soil substrate. He lives alone :) He loves to eat Raddish Tops...

I ‘lost’ my Taco and she/he was missing for 4 days, then he/she sauntered last me in the garden without a care in the world ? just check that you don’t have any sheds or small buildings or structures that he could get stuck under. They can manage surprisingly well under plants etc., hope you...

My sister lives in Welwyn Garden City so I was even more in your question ? she told me you had a hot day yesterday. Lottie will grow to love her outside enclosure, make sure she has some shady areas though.

Hello. My Taco took a while to get used to her garden area, and your Lottie is still very young - give her ? time. You will probably get better answers from more experienced users of the Forum. All the best

Thank you SO much for this extra information! This has been really helpful to me! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know this ???

Taco making the most of the Sun ☀️

Thank you Yvonne. This is really helpful to me, I have left him outside, and I’ve only brought him in at night if the temperature is forecast to be low. He’s had a few warm soaks, he did a “lovely” long pee afterwards, and he’s done a poo ( proud Mum ?) He always snuggles into his “bedroom”...

Hi everyone, I have a 4 yr old Hermann who has been sleeping outside in the enclosure since October, we live in the South of France, on the Mediterranean close to the Spanish Border. Yesterday my Taco came to the entrance of his ‘bedroom’ to have a bask in the Sun, 21 degrees in the shade - much...

Hi everyone. My Taco has been asleep outside in his ‘bedroom’ in his enclosure since October, dry and covered in dry leaves with his head towards the ground d and his/ her bottom in the air ? we live close to the Spanish Border, on the Mediterranean Coast. Today the temperature in the shade was...

Taco popped out to check the weather!! 21 degrees here ( in the shade!) much warmer in the sun. Should I bring my baby inside??

Great News!!! Thanks for letting us know

Hi. I’m sorry for you, I feel your pain!! Last year, ours went ‘missing’ for 5 days - but then he just turned up as though nothing had happened - he’d no idea of the stress and worry he caused

Maybe because he CAN move it, he likes to do it?

I read recently of a baby called Pebble! I wish I’d have thought of that name for mine ( who’s called Taco by the way!)
