HOMEBRED HERMANN TORTOISES
Welcome to Homebred Hermann Tortoises. I am a hobbyist Tortoise keeper and breeder of Hermann's Tortoises .
As a passionate hobbyist Tortoise keeper and UK breeder, I am very keen to promote the correct husbandry and dietry needs of the Hermann's Tortoise. I keep 2 species of the Hermann's subspecies (THB and THH not Herc).This site is designed to be a support to all new owners of Homebred Hermann's Tortoises and those passing through. you can also up date yourself on Homebred Hermann's news.
With the enormous amount of conflicting advice out there about tortoises, I hope to share techniques and best practices that I have adopted during my years of tortoise keeping and raising hatchlings. This is to help assist new and novice keepers with the ultimate goal of helping you achieve the best from your tortoise in your long life together. This website has a live shopping list with links via buttons which will take you straight to the items I believe to be the best on the market. There is also a printable PDF feeding guide. A pattern for a starter table and lots of additional information. I hope you find it useful and enjoyable.
NB. I DO NOT SELL TO PET SHOP & INTERNET PURCHASED KIT ACCOMMODATION..
If you are interested in adding my babies to your family then please familiarise yourself with my website, purchase my short, informative book and get in touch.

EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT BABY TORTOISES ARE NOT SUITABLE EXCLUSIVELY AS YOUNG CHILDRENS PETS AND WILL NOT BE SOLD AS SUCH
Homebred Hermann Tortoises was founded by Suzi Newsome. Much of the information on this site has come directly from Suzi, an experienced and enthusiastic keeper of tortoises. When, in passing, she mentioned she was shutting her site down, I had to step in. There is so much good information on this site that I could not let it fall be the way side. I will continue to update the information within the website with current information and I will continue to breed Hermann's for those people that want to visit a reputable, private breeder.
