Quarantine and introducing a new tortoise

Here I go through what I do after I've quarantined a new tortoise and introduced it to the other tortoises. In this video we're working with Eastern Hermann's tortoises and how I quarantine, why, and when I feel it's okay to pull them from quarantine and put it with the other tortoises. If there is one thing that is most important for any tortoise keeper it's quarantine. In many ways this is more important than even proper feeding because introducing one sick tortoise without putting it through quarantine could mean major problems for all the rest of your tortoises.
We did this over a week ago and today this little Hermann's tortoise is doing great. She absolutely hated her quarantine enclosure but within a few hours of putting her in the new enclosure, her entire attitude changed. She seems more relaxed and can now do things that are more natural for her to do.

Excellent! Not many videos on this topic, at least that I’ve seen in my UA-cam addiction. Lol

Thanks! I have 5 more I'm growing out which will ultimately be intro'd to this group over the next year or two depending on genders, size, etc. so I'll update as I go along. Appreciate the feedback.
