Hi , Just wondering if you had any Hermanns available and how much they are?
Thanks

Hi, we are looking to add a Hermann's to our family (first tortoise) and would like to get one from a UK breeder, particularly having had advice from a shop in Perth which was largely counter to everything we've read on forums and the Tortoise Trust etc. We are in Tayport (Fife) and it looks as though you are Perth?
Do you have any youngsters available at the moment? If not, when? Or do you know of anyone else you would recommend that might have one available at the moment?
Much thanks

Why pm, we can all learn about other species if questions are asked on here:0) Also there are other redfoot keepers who might have different ideas. Hence we get differing ideas from med tortoise...

you shouldn't have to suggest the glue if the vet has ever chipped a reptile/tort before then he should know you have to use it, they aren't like a dog or cat. The 'needle' leaves a hole how else...

Hi I am sorry that your tortoise has passed away. It sounds as though your vet was not a specialist though to be honest. Unfortunately keeping horsfields in tanks often results in early death,...

:lol2: Russian tortoises live in burrows in the wild. How can the tortoise build burrows without them collapsing? I imagine sawdust would pull moisture away from the tortoise, that can't be good. ...

That's unusual :lol2: Seriously though, as soon as you see the words 'avoiding fees' where animal keeping is concerned, alarm bells start to ring :(

Words fail me.

If your tortoise is cared for properly it should never need antibiotics. How will you know if it needs antibiotics if you cannot diagnose what is wrong with it? Do you know what antibiotics are for?...

I am afraid there is a lot more to tortoise keeping than 'we have not nioticed food missing from his table' or 'no-one gave me a response over the months'. If you had come back even within a few days...

Looking back at your previous posts you had been advised to keep the two tortoises separate. You were also given advise as to the Hermann's diet, ie s/he should not be fed fruit, peas or carrots. ...

Just so long as the OP knows it has to be large enoguh to get a good temp gradient Ron, given the previous hit and miss attitude - sorry but we don't want to see a post in a couple of days, saying...

I'm sorry, but he's not eaten in months and you are now asking how you should be keeping him. Would you do this for say a dog or cat? You have two tortoises from totally different backgrounds with...

Oswald, if you don't have any luck finding a vet nearby and can get an appt with the Bedford vets, and get yourself to Bedford station (St Pancras do a direct train - but it's not cheap) or Milton...

When measuring temps, the tortoise world uses centigrade rather than farhenhite (sp) :0) Hermans dont need the same sorto of temps a Sulcata does, especially at nightime. Hermans need a drop in...

Yes, remove the house, he needs to be able to dig down into the soil as nature intended. He will then be able to thermoregulate properly and will come out when the light/heat goes on in the morning....
