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 have be big enough for two Hermanns?
3. Will I need a backup plan incase the two don't get along?
I really like to plan ahead!

Re: Adding a second tortoise
It is crucial to keep new tortoises isolated from your current tortoises for at least 3 months, and preferably 6 to 8 months, after adding them to your creep. Since a whole year is the safest period, many people choose to quarantine.

1. Yes, it's a good idea to quarantine a new tortoise before introducing it to your existing one. Quarantine helps to prevent the spread of potential diseases or parasites. Keep the new tortoise in a separate enclosure for at least a few weeks to monitor its health.
2. Well, it may be a bit small. Tortoises need A LOT of space to move around, explore, and establish their territories.
3. I think it's a good idea to have a backup plan in case the tortoises don't get along. Hermanns are generally social, but their personalities vary.
