Description

Hermann's tortoises are small, hardy and endearing turtles, who often thrive in captivity. But unfortunately, many people acquire them without first learning how to properly care for them. This often leads to frustrated keepers and rejected reptiles, which is bad for all parties. Accordingly, prospective keepers must learn as much as possible about the biology, behavior and ecology of the species, in order to provide their pets with the highest quality of life possible.

Inside, you will find all of the information you need to care for these tortoises properly. By heeding the advice contained here, continuing to learn everything you can about the species and paying attention to your animal's behavior, you'll have a great chance to provide your new Hermann's tortoise with a long, healthy life.
