Hey everyone, I already have one hermans tortoise but thinking of getting a new one exited Does anyone have any suggestions for measurements for the enclosure? needs to be big enough for two (medium sized) tortoises to roam happily.... Thanks!
How big is 'medium'? 4"? 6"? 8"? I'd guess something around 10 square feet of surface area minimum (4' x 2.5' or something) and at least twice as tall as their SCL so they can't climb out. With 2 torts you'll want multiple hides and LoS breakers like tiny walls or plants.
I missed the 'additional one' part and just read 2 torts. If you're getting another adult tort from somewhere else you should keep them separated for quarantine in case the new one has any diseases (I think people recommend ~6 months). What does your current enclosure look like? We all love photos
Yeah I found out there was a quarantine period on this forum.... I'll be keeping the new tort in the existing enclosure whilest ozzy will be making his mark in his/her new enclosure!!! Thanks for the measurements, Ozwin's about 5ish"... I'll get pictures soon... Thanks
