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.

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. 

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
