aww im in the UK and im really hoping to get an indoor eastern hermanns tortoise hatchling where do you recommend buying from ? xx ive dona all my research by the way :)
This was very cute 😊 and so helpful! I'm currently doing my research on getting a Hermann's Tortoise so thank you for your video, just wish there were more! I hope Percy is doing well 😊
Jordan Reis as long as you have a uv bulb and feed the correct food (they love weeds although lettuce and kale and mixed greens are good. try to bathe them at least once a week and make sure they have a wide and not too shallow but not too deep dish for water. a good substrate is soil/dirt which you can get from pet stores and also some bark chips. kamp kenan do better info videos
Super cute thanks for the video. So far I've seen everyone just bathing their torts in regular water should it be cleaned with the repisafe conditioner or what? Going to be getting a young Russian tort, have a separate painted turtle already lol. Was going to get bottles of spring water for water dish but wondered about the soaking with what I've seen everyone doing so far.
Hi ! New subscriber here . I am setting up my tortoise table . I plan to get my baby Hermanns in a few weeks. Can you please provide me with the light and bulbs you are using ??? I am finding so many different suggestions. Yours seems to be working ! Thank you!!
How is the zoo med double light working out for you? I'm getting a hermanns tortoise but I haven't been able to figure out if I should get 2 lights or the double one!
Zoo med makes a linear UVB bulb that fits on top of most tortoise tables and allow for calcium absorption among a larger area than just a small bulb/small area. Please get a linear bulb for your Hermanns :)
Hi! New Hermann’s tortoise own here ^^ I was wondering how fast they grow? I have a big yard and I know they live for a long time! Mine is very small right now and I know they don’t grow to be extremely big. I want to know when I should start preparing his outdoor enclosure, ty and Percy is adorableee
Great setup! What chicken wire did you use for the lid? I can only find galvanized wire, but apparently that's poisonous when having a heat lamp on them (zink poisoning) :(
Hey how's things. I've gotten a Herman tortoise for Xmas from my partner. So far he seems happy enough but some days rest more then usual in his cave area untill I have to bath him and I let him wander then fees on his own time. Would you have any hints or tips for me moving forward.
Do you have to give them starve days? Kamp Kenan says he only feeds his hatchlings 3 times a week and I read somewhere that you can only give them food 5 days a week and then give them 2 starve days so their digestive system catches up... please help!!
I have a laser thermometer gun that I use to check temperatures because it is more accurate. For UV Lights, I use exo terra repti glo dessert in 50 UVB.
Hi i come from indonesia, i wanna ask you i got a baby hermann. What kind of substrate did you use? Bcs i just use cocohusk in here and i see he’s struggling to walk in coco husk. So i think i should change it to plant soil. Is it okay?
Hi i was wondering what substrate i should use for my hermanns tortoise as currently we are using coarse beech chips as substrate because a reptile specialist told us it would be okay, but i am still worried about it aswell we topped it off with a bit of coco coir substrate, is this okay or should we change the substrate as soon as possible and if so could you tell me why?
Breanna Bourgeois thank you so much for the reply, i ended up going with camp kenans advice of using reptibark as it can be used wet and dry, but i will keep this in mind, thank you
Hi I'm getting my Hermann hatching in 2 months I've done all the research I can is there any tips I need to know ? I want to be the best owner I can be x
You sound like a prepared owner so I’m sure you would do great! I would recommend allowing them to get outside as much as they can if you are keeping them indoors. Also, handle him everyday so he is comfortable with you, but at the same time don’t handle him to much! And if you’re able to, grow him a garden of all the weeds he can eat! I grew Percy a garden and it was so much fun. Other than that, if you follow all the humidity, heating, lighting, and substrate recommendations, I think you’re gonna be a great tortoise momma!! Enjoy your sweet little Hermann’s and keep me updated of when he/she arrives!
how to tell the difference between Greek tortoise and Herman tortoise ???? although my tortoise is not bright yellow like herman and at the same time it's not big like Greek????? please help me ?? sorry for my bad english !!
Guys any of you who have tortoises you should really aim to feed weeds as much as possible and only feed shop brought greens in an emergency. Weeds contain a rich source of vitamins and minerals where as shop brough greens can be made up of a lot of water and little vitamins and minerals. °🙃🙃🙃
I have a hermanns hatchling as well. I could watch him eat all day! Yours is a great eater. Kudos!
aww im in the UK and im really hoping to get an indoor eastern hermanns tortoise hatchling where do you recommend buying from ? xx ive dona all my research by the way :)
Great presentation. Mesmerizing watching him eat as is my slider and Guinea pigs. Thx.
When you are bathing your tortoise try putting him in a colored bin/container where he/she cannot see through.
It’s fine
So I can cut the lights off at night and she’ll be fine?
I’m going to have a Baby Hermann tortoise and this video helped me
Thank you❤️
Me too! I have begged my mom for a month and I finally found one online and we are going to get one!

You rock, what a great video!
I just one today 4 month old baby hermann's tortoise. I got a lot to learn. I always wanted one.

Alex Collins Do you have any tips? I might get one and I need advice!

My Herman’s doesn’t eat for 1 month ,SEND SUPPORT!!
Where did you get that slate, also how old is he?
He is 7 months old now! I got the slate from pet smart, it’s just a large watering dish flipped upside down!

How is the zoo med double light working out for you?

The double light is working out great for me! In the past 6 months it’s given me no issues and I would definitely recommend.
@@breannabourgeois162 right on, thank you very much!
I have the exact same problem as him. That’s so crazy, but cool.
Zoo med makes a linear UVB bulb that fits on top of most tortoise tables and allow for calcium absorption among a larger area than just a small bulb/small area. Please get a linear bulb for your Hermanns :)
curious how r u obtaining 60/80% humidity for a hatchling in a open box is it easy to obtain in that box
My tortoise absolutely loves sand dollars.
My Herman tortoise paces around her cage all day now she is so tired and went in her cage to sleep
What are you using for bedding

Hi , i hot eastern hermann's its still baby . I would like to know what are you using as supstrate ? At the moment I am using sterile sand .
I use coconut coir and zoo med eco earth! Sand is not really good for babies because it can lead to impaction.
Awesome👍
update about the tortoises pleeeaseee😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Coming right up:)
Great setup! What chicken wire did you use for the lid? I can only find galvanized wire, but apparently that's poisonous when having a heat lamp on them (zink poisoning) :(
Do u use any covering for the winter months when u have to turn on the heater or no?
You can always get sod in winter time to enable them to eat grass. It’s not that expensive and better for them than human produce.
Beautiful, how old is his?
How often does the soil need to be replaced and does it sometimes smell if it is not changed for a while
around 1 month or so?

I fed mine everyday for the first year and now he gets fed every other day. Feed them the size of their shell in amount of greens.
Is that and east or west herman
im getting a hermann tortoise soon but im confused on what UV light and thermostat to get, any recomendations??
I have a laser thermometer gun that I use to check temperatures because it is more accurate. For UV Lights, I use exo terra repti glo dessert in 50 UVB.

I use straight coco coir and just hydrate it every few days. Bark chips are not healthy for tortoises.

@@breannabourgeois162 thank you so much ! I will let you know when he arrives x
If there are any videos that you would like me to make to address certain topics just let me know!
@@ameliaramsey1734 so did you get him?
Does your Herman like to eat lots of grass? Also, be sure his home doesn't have any objects or obstacles he can get stuck inbetween
He loves weeds and grasses and his home is safe for him:)
You need to put your lights on a timer, that way he's on a schedule. He'll be stressed if you don't.
He is on a schedule! Thank you though
how to tell the difference between Greek tortoise and Herman tortoise ???? although my tortoise is not bright yellow like herman and at the same time it's not big like Greek????? please help me ??
sorry for my bad english !!
I’m not sure. I know the underbelly of tortoises are unique. What does the markings on the bottom of your tortoise’s shell look like?
Do you feed him everyday???
Maliha Grewal I did when he was a hatchling, but now that is about 1 1/2 years old, I feed him every other day!
Thank you soo much for your reply and advice xx😛
How large is your enclosure in feet?
Y.N.S Baby Huncho 3x2 feet
I’m getting 2 today xx
1 boy and 1 girl
What type of Herman tortoise is dat uwu
Is this an eastern or western hermann's?
Eastern
Is he eastern or western?
I think he needs a friend. Hermann's tortoises, especially young tortoises like to be in groups
I have 2 hermann's tortoise a male and female
😃😃😃🐢
Guys any of you who have tortoises you should really aim to feed weeds as much as possible and only feed shop brought greens in an emergency. Weeds contain a rich source of vitamins and minerals where as shop brough greens can be made up of a lot of water and little vitamins and minerals. °🙃🙃🙃
I have bahia grass so I have all the weeds I'd need lol.
Your tortoise hates his bath prison. It's hard to watch
