Playing spot the tortoise

[Kighill]

Having collected my new tortoise, I have discovered a game which I had not heard of before.
Four tortoises went in (rather tiny Hermanni Hermanni) I went into the kitchen in order to make a cup of tea and on my return only two were left in the very secure housing.
I then saw one of the two remaining tortoise bulldozing its way under the substrate, a thorough search of the substrate found the other two, phew.

Good game though.

Hehe imagine if you had been a bit longer making your tea.. There might have been none at all. Then the panic would set in

my hatchlings love the new coco coir substrate,do you remember the film Tremmors?

[Stellanne]

My babes just love coir, it was the best move I made by getting rid of soil x x x. Hugs x x x

Hi, are you not using any soil at all now just 100% coir?

Great photo by the way.

Not sure re Stellanne ,but mine is 100% coco coir nothing else - bit of shingle to walk on sometimes. I love it, torts love it, so does my spider plants. no dust, doesn't clump great for the daily spray too. By the way I did answer your temperature and humidity post and picture of it too - not sure if you saw it (if you don't search on 'new posts' containing the 'days posts' ) as it was a while ago ! CB

I think our new member is going to spend a fair bit of time looking for tortoises in the future! I do it every day, often several times.

Me too, I am always dipping in and out of here. Did I contact you via Facebook during my search for Hermanni Hermanni? If I did and then failed to reply please accept my apologies, it was my first time on Facebook and I now cannot find any messages. (I think my son who was tutoring me did some deleting)

Hi there Kighill - no I didn't get any Facebook messages, but no worries it would have been OK anyway. I do keep hermannis just like you! But until this year I didn't have eggs so wouldn't have been able to help. I got my first baby this year.

Those hermannis you found look great by the way.
