Hey all.im new and was just wondered upon this site whilst browsing.
Anyway couple of years ago for my 18th birthday i decided i wanted a tortoise as my mum had one when she was my age and i loved hearining stories about her , so i decided id give myself a year to learn evrything that my tort would want/need rather than rush into geting one then learning. So last year for my 20th birthday my mum & dad got me a baby horsefield aswell as a ful vivaruim kit. I bought an outdoror shelter etc..........aswel as all the bits needed.
But now im 21 in may and would love to get another tort..do you think id be able to keep two in one vivarium? Id rather just stick to one if its gone to stres my tort .
Measurements are 4 & 1/2 ft by 2ft











Thanks Kerryx

If you have actually read the link to the site Kerry, you will see that the recommendations are not to keep horsfields in tanks at all. One is a poor prospect but more than one would be a recipe for disaster IMHO
