Hello my name is Adam and I have a hermann tortoise named Morris. I got him from an awful pet store chain about a year and 1/2 ago. The people there might as well have been selling printers because they knew nothing about my tortoise , his age or sex. He seems to be full grown based on what I read and seems to be a male. I have found that like most things the internet is filled with conflicting information regarding tortoises. One article says use a desk lamp for light , another says that's insane, one says feed him lettuce, another says never feed him lettuce. His favorite thing to eat are dandelions, but he most consistently eats romaine lettuce and broccoli. A friend of a friend of mine has a tortoise and told me about this forum and said without it she wouldn't know what to do with her tortoise. But even here I find conflicting information, I really just want the best for Morris but sometimes I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. If anyone who raises hermann tortoises could help me that would be tremendous.
