I can't wait to see pics of simon in itHi Hgarrity! Thank you for the compliments on Simon, your tortoise is very pretty too
How old is he? How long have you had him? I am yet to put Simon outside it has been non stop rain here. We have an old above ground pond that we turned into a flower bed a few years ago, but we had such a cold, cold winter this year that it killed all our plants , so instead of planting regular plants we knew we were going to get a tortoise this summer so as soon as spring came we added more soil and planted clover and cat grass. Its really big and deep with high sides, so Simon will think he is in the jungle for sure! I cant wait to put him in it, he is so tiny, 4 weeks and about the size of a half dollar. I will only put him out there for a few hours when I do.
Thanks for writing
Pogo is a baby too, soooo cute! I know its hard to know what to feed them. I was told by the breeder I bought Simon from to not give him fruit, it does nothing good for Hermanns and too much sugar. Fruit does not grow in their natural habitat so their bodies do not know how to handle it. My kids also spend a lot of time researching what is best for Simon too eat tooCan't wait to see pictures! Pogo is 4 months old. We have had him for about three weeks. So far things have been going pretty good. I've been trying to find different things to plant for him. We have all kinds of things in our yard and on my parents farm down the street that he can eat. My kids are having a fun time figuring out what he can and can't eat. We have been using The Tortoise Table online a good bit. thetortoisetable.org.uk
