| | Thinking of a baby tortoise |
 | | Tortoises in the wild rarely hibernate for more than 6-10 weeks and the naturally much longer hibernations that would occur naturally in this climate are detrimental to the tortoises long-term. | | | Testudo hermanni *(Hermans tortoise) - this tortoise has a very wide distribution in southern Europe and because of this there is wide variation in size between tortoises from different areas, but it is generally one of the smaller breeds, usually attaining 150mm in length. | | | Probably over 95% of the adult UK tortoise population is calcium deficient to some extent and this along with infections due to excessively low temperatures accounts for most hatchling tortoise deaths in the UK. |

| | Care Sheet - Eastern Hermann's Tortoise |
| | Hermanns tortoises are herbivores and in the wild consume a wide variety of flowers, leaves, and plant stalks. | | | It is also helpful to keep a cuttlebone (with the back removed) in the enclosure so your tortoise can nibble on it if she or he feels the need for more calcium. | | | It is also possible to grow many wildflowers and weeds indoors and in greenhouses so that your tortoise does not have to rely on grocery store greens, especially in winter. |

| | Tortoise are easy to look after and especially easy to feed. | | | Tortoise will hibernate in the winter, especially if they are kept outside. | | | Especially if a tortoise lives outside, then it should have some sort of shrub/bush, or even a clump of grass to hide under and use as shelter. |

| | The breeding behaviour in many species is quite rough, involving butting, biting and ramming, and while a female of the same species is 'built' for that particular type of rough handling, a female of another species is most likely not equipped to come out of such an ordeal unharmed. | | | what do you feed yours with, just veges or have you tried tortoise pellet food/ | | | a Spurred tortoise from the arid subsaharan Africa and those of a Hingeback from the deep tropical forests of the western and central parts of the same continent, are doomed to condemn at least one, and most likely both tortoises to a slow death. |

| | He also eats tomato and we supplement his diet with tortoise food to make sure he gets some calcium (he wont eat crushed eggshells as advised) can't really blame him. | | | Both dehydration and the presence in the body of toxins dictate that every effort must be made to encourage drinking first, feeding later. | | | The tortoise must also be kept warm as described previously- it is absolutely vital that such temperatures are maintained in order to speed up activation of the tortoise's digestive system. |
