Description
This is Prickle, my Hermann tortoise (female), approximately 6 years old. I’ve had her since she was a hatchling, but due to recent circumstances I unfortunately, have to re home Prickle.
Now let me tell you a bit about her!
Prickle adores to explore the outside world while bathing in the natural sunlight, dig around in her substrate, bathe in warm water and get incredibly sandy right away! She likes her privacy sometimes and prefers to sleep in an enclosed hideaway, eating! She absolutely loves eating! And she’s certainly not slow when she sees fresh greens!
Prickles favourite foods are:
Dandelions
Watercress
Occasionally watermelon
Red green lettuce
Leafy salads
Hibiscus
Dried flowers
Prickle has never been in hibernation however, there’s no reason why she shouldn’t.
You MUST do your own research before adopting and ensure you’re able to provide the care, time, and money into Prickle. In addition, please ensure you’re able to finance a Hermann tortoise as fresh greens, florals, 10+ hours basking lighting, substrates, calcium, emergency vet visits, etc add up.
Please note this is an animal, not a temporary toy for your children.
I have a vivarium setup, but this is not suitable for a Hermann tortoise in the long run. The vivarium and accessories can be included if wanted.
*Having a garden is essential!
