Hi All.
I recently just got a Hermann Tortoise (delivered yesterday)
I have obviously done a lot of research on the care but I would be very grateful for some advice from people on the care especially over the first few weeks. just to give some more information...
I am in Ireland the Tortoise in about 2 and half years old. He will be indoors mostly in a Tortoise table which I haven't got yet.
Besides a heat lamp what will I need to have? I know from reading online that the Hermann Tortoise don't need heatmats despite what the pet store said.
And what should I feed him? he arrived today and doesn't seem to be too interested in food which considering the travelling isn't that surprising. he was drinking and had a bath in shallow water and is very active.
And one final question how often and how much should they eat? do I need to monitor the food or will they just eat when hungry.
I know I put a lot of information on there but would be really grateful for the help.

P.S. I will include photos later
