Hello, tortoise newbie here.
My son (12yo) wanted a tortoise so after much consideration, we went for a hatchling Hermann. After a month with us, I must say the whole family is amazed. It’s growing fast (35g) and seems pretty happy, eats a lot, seems to enjoy its enclosure and daily soak. My son would be posting himself if he’d be more fluent in English. As a familly we have experience with cats, dogs, birds, parrots, rodents and turtles. We curently share our home with an old Maine coon and a young parrot. Each with its own caretaker and dedicated space. Our home has central air with filtration, central humidifier and uv air sanitizer. Interior is 50-55% humidity and 21-23C all year long.
It’s the first time we house a tortoise, so please, any advices will be welcome.
See you around,
J-D
