New Video
Hi Everyone. Haven't been on here anywhere near as much as I would like to be, life has just been incredibly busy with a farm of tortoises and turtles, building our new website (www.hermannihaven.com) and of course planning our wedding. All good things though. Anyway, somehow with all this crazy-ness going on, I managed to put together a new video. It's a bit rushed and I am sorry for that, but it's of one of our Mountain tortoises building and guarding her nest. I love the unique behavior of these tortoises and just had to share it. Check it out if you'd like, the link is:

Really interesting video, I didn't realise that any tortoises showed any maternal instincts.
I don't have a clue why but another tortoise info video followed and I could not get rid of it, the sound carried on even after I had clicked on the cross and I could not close down my computer either (I tried to do this to exit it) ??? |

I can't play the video, ill keep trying.
I never really had an interest in hermans until I looked at your website, your tortoises are stunning colours, I didn't realise how beautiful they are x
