Hello all,So I have been a bit busy with a few different things but the latest update is that Handsome Bob and Khalessi are getting along really well. There is no issue with them at all now which I am very happy about. They eat together and sleep together in the hide. Also there has been an addition to my little family. I have taken in a baby Sulcata tortoise named Hercules. He is so cute. It’s amazing the difference between the species: the Sulcata is much more active and much stronger in comparison. He runs around bulldozing everything out of this way and is even defiant when you try to pick him up when he is eating. As for substrate and lighting etc, I am using all the same as the Hermann tortoises but I have given him a bit more hay in his hide for him to nibble on. One thing I am trying to do at the moment is get some mazuri but it seems tricky to get outside of the U.S. without it being a 25lb bag which I don't think I will need. So once I find a source, I will put up the link for it. I’ve included some photos of Bob,Khalessi and Hercules. Just a quick note-I don’t and wouldn't put them together. Aside from that when Hercules is about 1 he will probably be bigger than the two Hermanns and there is the possibility of cross species virus transfer or maybe cross species mating which would not be good with these specific breeds.
