Thanks!

Hey Nina, I am really so happy with Pattern's environment now, and I think she loves it too! Thankfully Pattern only takes the odd nibble, but I have a couple of each plant so I can swap them as she does enjoy climbing over them! Yes the slate is directly under the lamp, but that one only gives off ...

Finally I'm happy with Pattern's table... Here are the final pictures!

Hi Nina,

I've gone ahead and ordered from that site.

Thankies so much!

Well I contacted my vet about a worm test and they quoted me £165! Now I love my little Pattern, but that seems a little expensive to me! After having a quick look online I've found this company: www.feclab.co.uk/faecal-egg-counts/exotics/ . Does anyone have any experience with using it? Or maybe su...

Hey all, I'm seriously considering getting a second Hermann's tortoise to keep Pattern company once she matures, I have a few questions though: 1. I'd like to rescue the second tortoise, do I need a quarantine period before I can put the two together? 2. Will the table (1022cm x 61cm) I currently ha...

Hi Nina,

Yes waiting until I can confirm Pattern's gender is a really good idea!

I have other questions but will start a new post for thoughs!

Oh wow, love this! I'm really considering getting a second Hermann's to keep Pattern company! Do they interact much?

Being a reptile enclosure designer would actually be my dream job!

Just seen the photos and posted a reply -- it's a brilliant set-up. I think you might have a new career as a tortoise table designer!

Hi Nina,

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your advise, and will, as you suggest, hibernate her next year!

I've put pictures of her new setup in enclosures.

Hey all, I wanted to share my new setup for my tortoise. I'm really excited about it, although non tortoise folks think I'm a little crazy! I know each of you get the same feeling when you see your tortoise happy! So, only one of the two bulbs are providing heat and uva/uvb, the other is to keep the...

Hi Nina, Thanks so much for your reply. I've had Pattern for about a year now and she hatched in 2021. I did wonder if she was being over fed a little, I'll adjust that going forward. Yes, she has accesss to cuttlefish at all times. She's never been hibernated, and honestly I'm wondering if it'd be ...

Does my little Pattern's shell look too bumpy? Also, should I hibernate her?

Hey all! I have a new Hermann's Tortoise called Pattern. I'm just wondering how long it'll take her to settle into her new table? She's drinking well and picking at food. She's had one wee since her arrival last night. Is there anything I should be doing to help her settle? She's bathed, has cuttlef...
