Hi all,
Just a quick bit of background: I'm looking to buy a couple of young (<1 year old) hermann tortoises this summer. I'm currently trying to gather as much information as I can, so that I'm able to care for them properly.
One thing that I've not been able to find out so far is how fast do hermann's grow? I understand that they grow to around 20cm, but I have no idea of how long that takes, and as such I've got no idea how big a habitat I need to make for them. I've been asking in the enclosures thread so far, here: http://tortoiseforum.org/thread-5904.html
Ideally I was wondering if anyone has a growth chart that I can get an idea from. Also if anyone can recommend how big a habitat for two tortoises should be, I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Nick
