I'm confused about bindweed. I always thought it was safe as it says so on the Tortoise Table website and have been feeding flowers and leaves now and again over the past year, but I have just read now on this forum that it can be toxic?? What it the correct answer?
Can anyone help identify these plants. The first one (large plant in centre of photo green leaves with white on) has sprouted up in my hermann's enclosure where I have planted tortoise friendly seed mixes, so I'm hoping it is safe but I have not been able to identify it - it has prickly edges...
I have a 9cm 5 year old Hermann's. Last year I had him in a temporary outdoor enclosure as we still had some work to be done in his area of the garden so this year I need to make something more permanant. My husband and I disagree on the size it should be I would like it to be as big as...
We are going away for a week next month and I'm not sure what to do about Tutu. He stays in an outdoor enclosure (we're on italian riviera so hermann's natural habitat) with a hutch for bedtime, each morning I open his door for him to come out and at nighttime I put him in the hutch and close...

Hi,
I'm new here (see introductions) I've only had 4 yr old Tutu for just over a month and as he was given to us unexpectedly I'm still learning how to make him happy.
His accommodation is still temporary for the moment and although he has an outdoor enclosure has slept inside at night until...
Hi everyone,
I've had 4 year old Tutu (named by my 2 yr old!!) the Hermann's for just over a month now and I'm slowly learning how to make the best life for him.
Tutu was given to us by friends who have had and bred tortoises for over 20 years, but I'm slowly realising that they don't really...
