			<description><![CDATA[Hi All,<br />
<br />
I've been asked to find a new home for a male hermanns (pictured below) His owner wants him to go somewhere with a large outdoor enclosure, preferably with some company.<br />
<br />
Here is the message from his current owner;<br />
<br />
"We have a Hermann tortoise which we have had since 2006.<br />
We were sold him (i believe he is a male) with a vivarium and did not fully<br />
understand what his needs would be as he grows - a familiar story for you <br />
I am sure.<br />
We have a European Community Certificate which describes him (Sid) as:<br />
"One live tortoise, with a plastron length of less than 100mm, hatched 2005=<br />
. Country of origin: Slovenia."<br />
We would really like him to go to a home with the facility of a proper o<br />
utside area and heated enclosure as the vivarium now seems too small for him. <br />
He is, as far as we know, healthy.  could send a photo of him to show current size etc.?<br />
I look forward to hearing from you."<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi there my name is Nancy and I am looking for one or two tortoises to rescue/rehome. I have had a wonderful pet tortoise in the past but he was sadly very old and left us, because I have had a tortoise before I know plenty about them and would care for them very well!<br />
I live in Bedfordshire and have searched the internet far and wide to try and find a tortoise in need of a loving home, but none seem to be near me. I am willing to drive out to collect the tortoise(s) providing they are within an hour or so of Bedford.<br />
I have set my heart on another tortoise because my old tortoise brought such joy into my life and I just think they are such amazing animals!<br />
If anyone has a tortoise that they are looking to send to a good home or knows of any relatively nearby rescue centres please, please tell me, I am willing to pay, I do not wish for a certain breed in particular although no very large tortoises please as I wouldnt have the space for such a large tortoise and it would be unfair for the animal, As soon as my new tortoise table is ready I will have images for those who want to check on size etc, thanks so much, Nancy x <img src="http://www.forum.tortoise-world.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Big Grin" title="Big Grin" />]]></description>

I have him in a table and although the end with his lamp is nice and warm, the other end (where I have his hide,) is freezing! I really can't make it much warmer, I have the heating on and it's by a radiator, my house is just quite old &amp; cold. Toby has developed a habit of sneeking into his hide of an evening and sleeping there indefinitely!! I keep pulling him out each morning and putting him under his lamp so that he warms up (and then he'll eat and have a mooch around). Am I doing the right thing by trying to warm him up or am I being cruel to keep waking him up and moving him from his hide? I'm worried if I leave him there he'll start to go into 'hibernation-mode'!! Please help!]]></description>

When he does it, he opens and closes his mouth. I don't think its a respiratory problem as he has no bubbles or snot and its only every now and again he makes the noise... Its not very loud but I'm a little concerned. Its kinda like a creaking noise.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[heya, was wondering if anyone knew the answers to some of these questions.<br />
<br />
where would i get some powder/paste to worm my tortoise (Derek)<br />
<br />
should i take him to a vet to get a general health check? (he is 6 months old)<br />
<br />
are their any diseases or bugs that i could give him or he could give me?<br />
<br />
is there any charts or figures that could help me determine that he is growing properly? apart from making sure he doesnt gain more than 2grams a month<br />
<br />
and is there anyway of checking to see if he is getting enough calcium?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />
