    We’ve had 3 torts for 6 years. The youngest is a Herman’s which was shop bought as a baby whereas a Spurthigh whom is now about 11 yrs old was basically rescued from a miserable life in a fish tank & a neighbours’ Horsefield about 12 whom is more a giant Spider . They live indoors & in a large secure garden in the English warmer weather. Prob is , the Herman has Vanished. She hasn’t been stolen as the boundaries are secure & although there’s spots of softer soil no matter how thoroughly we’ve searched inch by inch , there’s no indication of her successfully burying herself away from the heat. For 2 weeks we’ve spent an hour searching & inspecting the ground , beneath buildings, under vegetation etc etc. Set up a dummy which has been moved by us daily but hasn’t been grabbed by birds so unless she’s been nicked by a smart bird whom can tell the difference, we’re mystified. 😔

I saved up enough to buy a beautiful red leatherback bearded dragon from a breeder, and now, even my mom has taken charge of feeding him and cleaning up after him if I get home late. His cute, curious oddessy through the enclosure won them all over! Hoping to save up for a cherry head red footed tortoise or a box turtle by the end of summer semester! Thank you for your informative videos and all you do for reptiles :)

    So as you can imagine, I've been studying everyday about their needs etc,I live in Scotland so as you can imagine also,he needs to be kept indoors so I've got a nice little setup for him inside 🙂 Would love to see more vids of the Hermann's species to get more tips and info from you. Take Care.

    I have three Hermann's tortoises and they're so awesome! I love them :D
    They're all different "species" (donno whats the word for it) like one is Testudo Hermanni Hermanni, one is Testudo Hermanni Boettgeri and our youngest is Testudo Hermanni Hercigovinensis :)
    My Boettgeri and Hercigovinensis are sooooo lovable (because these mine just love humans and come to me when called). The Hermanni Hermanni is little shy, but thats just his personality :D

    Hello what type of bedding can I use, I am using coco coir right now and it’s drying up and they’re eating it, I don’t feel this is safe. Thank you

    Do you need to hibernate these?

      Yes 50-60% humidity, it's important especially in winter to prevent pyramiding

      ***** But mine is still a baby and lives in his enclosure at the moment. Would it be humid enough?

    I rescued a Hermann’s tortoise from a rescuer here in Texas. I have had her for two weeks now & she has stopped eating & wants to hide when I put her outside on a sunny day. What should I do?

    What's your take on Russian or Hermenn's Tortoise hibernation?
