What are the differences between Hermanns and Horsfields
Just wondering what the differences are?Is one easier to look after than the other?
Do they grow to different sizes? I am a total beginner to the Tort world and want to get as much info as I can Thank you Sharon |

Main difference is that hermanns grow to be quite a bit bigger than horsfields, both are very similar care and husbandry. Russians do like digging so this has to be considered when building their enclosures. My personal favourites are horsfields, they are so full of character<g> Have a look at www.thetortoisehouse.com for some more information. |
