When I got my second Hermann, the first one didn't care. At all.
It was like the second Hermann didn't exist or something.
But they were fine together, they still don't really care about one another.

You should sort out the diet for the one you have before getting another........

don't forget about the minimum 6 months quaranteen so that would make it next year before you could introduce them allowing for hibernation, and I assume it is the same sex as yours, has yours definately been confirmed female as 3 is a bit young to sex them. If its of a gentle nature then you might be lucky but you'd still have to be prepared to keep them separate if needed.

I agree with Ozgi, we are going by what you have told us yourself!

[annsimpson1]

if you put a photo of the underside of your tort on here we might be able to tell, my boys "flashed " me when they were 3 last year, ie showed their penis's up till then I thought I had a female but post some piccys and you might be lucky, you need a fairly good one of the geniatl area.

Im sorry but there is no need to be rude like that. These people are only concerned for the well being of your tortoise after you announced such a poor diet. I am in agreement with Ozgi, you should perhaps learn to look after what you have first. And no I am not being rude, its a friendly suggestion
