Thanks for the quick reply! I'll make sure to soak her more often than I regularly do then. (I usually soak her about once per week, but she always has fresh water available so I'm not sure how much she soaks while I'm away). Yeaah four weeks might be a little short but I've read somewhere that...

Hello dear tortoise enthusiasts! As the title says, I’m on my way to hibernate my dear Idamia for the first time this winter. I haven’t attempted this until now because I haven’t had the right equipment or knowledge (or guts) to try it until now. So far, I’ve been lowering the amount of...

Thanks for the replies guys! Okay, I'll definately have to think harder about getting more tortoises. Maybe one day when I have more living space I'll build another tortoise table for another species. Now I know then, thanks! Her/his tail has been that way since hatchlinghood, either they were...

Hi again and thanks for all your inputs! Her shell is hard and pyramiding free and she has been examined by a vet. I might have exaggerated a bit when I wrote that she completely when I wrote that she always drags her shell while walking, it’s not quite that bad! Maybe I feel this way...

Hi tortoise forum! I have my Hermann’s tortoise for almost ten years (!) now and I've always found her way of walking a bit peculiar. As a small kid I had a leopard tortoise living in my back yard (this was in Mozambique, Africa) and I remember their shell being levitated off the ground while...

Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to switching over to soil/bark substrate :)

Hello all tortoise lovers! I've been using a 50/50 sand and soil mix for my Hermann's Tortoise for about ten years now and find that my room gets really dusty after a while. I just watched Kamp Kenan’s latest Youtube video about baby tortoise care, where he recommended to use a soil and bark...

Hello everyone! I am band new to this forum, just created my account. I have had my dear tortoise for almost den years (she's about to turn 11 this autumn!) I got her as a birthday gift when I turned 13 and haven't always given her as much attention throughout the years as she would need (you...
