He was outside throughout June and July and most of August when it was warm and was kept sheltered from rain and the wind. At night he stayed outside but was shut in the tortoise house. I brought him back in the house a week or so ago as the temperature at night had dropped and he wasn't eating much in the day.
Now back in the house we have noticed that he is not eating as much as he would have done previously (he was a total pig) and he also sleeps for a fair amount of the day (he was a nutter)
Could he be ill or just altered behaviour after three months outside? there are no signs of illness as his nose is clear, he is breathing normally and is very bright eyed.
Any advice would be much appreciated.]]> I have a youngish Hermans tortoise who is male and weighs 550grm.

I became obsessed from that day on. He lived with me til around 1984, when he was either stolen or escaped. Meanwhile I had acquired Victoria and Albert from a shop in Rotherham. These were T ibera. They were both in a bad way and bought out of pity. Hours of "restoration" eventually paid off. Nowadays we would never mix species, but knowledge has improved a lot regarding disease transfer and such. Anyway Herman disappeared during summer of 1984 leaving me the happy couple. Lots of eggs laid but always infertile (confirmed by a knowledgeable specialist vet). Still a happy set up. Around 1985 I was given another female T ibera by this vet, to nurse back to health. Ethel was anorexic and almost dead when I got her.. but with loads of liaison with the vet, plus lessons on stomach feeding and injecting, she recovered well. However it was decided that Albert was firing blanks!( it never deterred him once). Albert and Victoria lived on for around another 26, and 25 years repectively. This leaves Ethel on her own. I have been seeking for mature company for her for some time. She is in great condition, but I reckon still lonely. Hope to be lucky one day soon!

The female is rather large called toto and she is 9years and the male is smaller but growing called coco and he is 8yrs. I would think they could be bred. They have never been hibernated, the live in a 4ft X 2ft vivarium and I would like them to go to a home that can offer them more than I can.

They feed on different leaves, cabbage, green beans and corn and small amounts of fruit as a treat.

Coco enjoys his bath, toto is a bit more reblious. They like a wonder around the house and a rome in the garden when it is warm. I would like £300 for them but I wil accept offers.

my email is laura_i_c@hotmail.co.uk I will email pics to anyone wanting to c them.]]>

When I have gone for a closer look she almost like notices me and it goes back in... She's just done this now, and after watching her she has done quite a large poo after this happening. I'm unaware if this is normal or not. Like I said i've not seen it happen very often, but I am concerned as to what this could be. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be really grateful if you could share.

I have two CB08 imported Testudo Hermanni Hermanni (Western/Dwarf Hermanns) for sale. They're proving to be males and I will not be able to keep them in the long term so am looking to rehome them and eventually get a female for my remaining boy.

Serious keepers only please, it is a reluctant sale but I can't house them separately.

They are lively and healthy, living in a large table, eating well, fed on weeds and flowers since I had them a year ago.
One of them has damage to his shell (chips off) due to a dog attack when he still lived with his previous owner. It is all well healed now and not too visible and he is a really sweet little character. I named him Wallace.
The other one, named Mendel, is a little more reserved but eating well and is fairly active: just a bit more lazy!
I would ask £150 each. They come, of course, with their certificates.
