Hi I plan to buy several Hermanns in the spring, and have a really neat plan for a 96sqft enclosure. I live in Canada, so it has to be indoors, but I plan to plant some edible plants from organic seeds, and grow organic food for them. I'm wondering though, I've heard that having one male to two females is okay, but is it okay to have two males and four females? And would two males, four females even work in my enclosure? I hope to one day breed, and will be keeping them separate as babies into either males and females or 1:2, and 1:2. Would that be effective, and suitable for them?
Tl;Dr:
1) is 96sqft enough for 2 male 4 female Hermann tortoise?
2) is a ratio of 1:2 okay with more than one male?
3) should I raise them together, or keep them separate as babies? If separate, should it be males and females, or two groups of a male and two females?
Thanks!
