Hi all,
I joined as a member years ago when i was around 16 ( currently 28) but been quite inactive on here in that time however!
I moved out of my old house 3 years ago and had to leave my tortoise behind for various reasons (with my mum and dad)
I have now regained space, sorted a garden full of grass and dandelions, i grow some veg too which the occasional leaf can add to diet also.
Garden gets great sunlight so he will be out often on nice days.
Im from Rochdale in England.
Now the fun stuff!
My male hermanns tortoise named Claret (Burnley fc colour)
Id like to give him a great life here so after any tips of your weekly routines: food, bathing etc
Also any tips on making his indoor space better. I currently have a 1.2m table he lives in and hope to go larger in near future as its around 50/60cm wide.
I also wonder do you guys use any different textures. I was considering adding some slate pieces at one end and softer substrate at the other.
Also i wouldnt say it holds him back but would this improve his beak which has grown ever so slightly.
Sorry for rambling,
Good to be back,
Brad
