    Beak bits

    A tortoise i am possibly adopting is a hermann male age 4. He grew very quickly when he was younger and is very large for his age. His beak has now grown and covers half of his face which has started chipping off. Does anyone know what to do or if this is an issue?

    I have two female hermann tortys, one is 2 and one is 3. They are currently in a 2 1/2 foot vivarium but they have too much energy to be in that all day on the days when I'm not around to get them out.

    Tortoise with disturbed sleep

    I have two hermanns, one is two and one is three. The two year old sleeps normally but the three year old acts very strangely when going to sleep/when sleeping. She scratches, twitches and gets worked up enough that if we get her out she will run around frantically. I just wanted to see if any...
