Hi, newbie from North Yorkshire 🐢
Hi
I'm jo, just acquired my first tort about a month ago, a 2 yr old hermanns called zuma. We live in North Yorkshire (my hubby, 2 boys, 2 cats, a lot of fish, zuma and me) 😊 He/she was bought from a friend of a friend who had lost interest. Zuma seemed quite small for a 2yr old (I'm not a expert but I just thought it would be bigger). Zuma is eating well and seems settled in fine so can't complain. A lovely new family pet. I'm totally smitten ❤️🐢❤️🐢 |

It's a character from my children's favourite TVs programm, plus I thought it was ironic as tortoises are supposed to be slow. Although I've found out this isn't really the case 😂😂 Thank you all for the lovely welcome messages 😊 |

Yes I read up before desiring what breed to get, decided Hermanns tortoise for that reason. Although I think it might be the males that are more of a character, I've heard stories of them being romantic with plant pots, slippers and garden gnomes 😂😂😂
