We are blessed however, with the Hermann's Tortoise as there is also Wolfgang Wegehaupt's book Naturalistic Keeping and breeding of Hermann's Tortoises which also is a masterclass in the subject. |

Yeah I'm amazed at how much food torts really eat in the wild, and the fact they eat fruit but we get told not to feed fruit

Two things about the fruit a Hermanns tortoise encounters in the wild;
It's availability is seasonal, not constant. It bears little relation to the fruit we eat, which is engineered to be fructose heavy, appealing to our sweet tooth. From that book, I have added wild blackberries in small quanties (equating to one or two per tortoise per week) to the diet of my Hermanns, when they are available in the autumn |
