Hello all!
I’m very happy to be here!
My husband, four boys and I brought home a beauty of a Hermann Tortoise two weeks ago and are completely smitten with our gal, Rosie.
We were told that Rosie was six months old, but my guess is that she’s a bit older. She is friendly, social, and SO very smart! The only issue I’m having is that I can’t get any work done because I can’t stop staring at her ?. She’s just the most beautiful little thing! I’ve already looked up MANY things I don’t know about tortoises, which led me here and I’m excited to learn from all of you tort veterans! D073187E-2073-40C3-8840-80AD29111FD4.jpeg

Hi and welcome! I think you're right that Rosie is older than 6 months. If I was asked to guess I would have said a couple years old.

Hello and welcome. Here is the current and correct care advice. Judging by your substrate (the hay), you've gotten some not-so-good advice previously.
