Eastern Hermanns tortoise hatchling

These little hatchlings are 1.5- 2 months old. Feeding on a variety of greens, cactus, hibiscus leaves, weeds and Mazuri tortoise diet(original). Eastern Hermanns tortoises are one of the smaller species. Adult eastern Hermanns range from 5-7 inches. They are hardy and an ideal tortoise for someone living in a region with a lot of winter months. In the wild these tortoises go into brumation during the winter. A state similar to hibernation. This is not necessary in captivity.
