Is this normal - try again
We were sold two Hermans tortoises as females but one (the one in the pics) has grown much more quickly than the other (approx 50% heavier). She (?) has done this twice whilst defecating and it raises two questions - 1. Is this normal? 2. Is she definitely a female? It all goes back inside after she is finished and she appears to be in very good health.
Thanks Martin |

Interesting about the growth rates though as the boys are more often smaller than the girls.
