Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the video! Blue is loving the new house & he is now sleeping under the plant haha! Also wanted to say quick. PLEASE please remember tortoises are a huge responsibility & should never be bought on a whim. They live over 80 years and no child can make that sort of commitment! So please do the research & make sureee you’re ready for it to live longer than you!!! Thanks guys!!!!! See you Tuesday!

[@donnadevaney798]

wow guys you did a fantastic job, Blue should be very happy in his new home.

[@maddierawn4906]

I’m so happy for you Lori! You and Blue deserve this so much. Much love from Arizona ❤️ ❤️ 🐢

[@petsilovepetsyoulove2185]

Can we do a trade package please!!!

[@marcyc770]

Can you please do a cleaning routine for the tortoise table? How often you clean it, how you clean.

[@chloebrown9416]

Lori’s Hartland . Everything you have done is wrong and said is lies!! Yes they do bury down and it should be only top soil or core mix . They do use there water bowls you just don't see him. Nothing should be directly under the light it will burn there plastrons. Please NO follow this. Grate Facebook pages with so much amazing information !!!

Tortoise: Oh, I’m getting a soak? COOL!! *changes everything while he is soaking* Tortoise: Ummm... is it just me, or does this place seem bigger?

@@molcatz9634 From my experience theyre really easy. Setting up the place for the tortoise can be a little tricky , but maintenance is a peace of cake. And i can say there doesnt go that much money into them. Mine can just eat grass and almost any fruit or vegetable

I like this setup because many tortoise owners don't realize that tortoises don't understand the concept of glass, and they will keep trying to push through. Tortoise pens like these are great because it is smells very fresh and has great air flow

[@conceptodaf]

Gosh I love you and your husband for doing this. Such a lucky fella, you did a great job. I have a chelonoidis chilensis (31 years old), a native species from the north of my country (Argentina) and they excel by being excellent climbers, for being rough (they usually hit their shell against stones or anything hard they see on their way, especially in mating season), and although they're vegetarians usually eat everything they should not: stones, earth, sand, etc, etc. When I saw the vine, the first thing I thought was "OMG, what happens if he wants to eat it" and immediately you said you were going to be attentive, so I breathed deeply haha ​​(only those who care for tortoises understand that paranoia for our little babies hahaha). Thanks for sharing this beautiful video! :)

I am a Korean. And I raising a Eastern hermann's tortoise. So I wanted to find more information, and I found this video. my tortoise 11 Centimeter, adult is not yet, in the image to be too nice and became a tortoise on the one hand, I'm sorry. So about four months later, a kennel, a bigger one to keep the food, humidity, and more evenly and will replace a walk, will also show more often. And my His name is Zhang-gun

[@preciouspilates]

Love this!!! I just adopted a juvenile Eastern Hermann Tortoise and put it into a 40 gallon enclosure....Thanks for all your advice

[@owentobias6651]

Looking amazing! I would move the slate away from the light as they can’t feel heat from their plastron so can be burnt. I would add some rocks to allow blue to claim over 😊

Hermanns love climbing find rocks from the garden at put them in his enclosure. It not only provides entertainment but somewhere so file down thier nails. It's also important to rearrange the whole enclosure often to keep things interesting. At this size you can still use rabbit accessories such as tunnels!

I have two tortoises One is quite small And one looks just like blue but is maybe a tiny little bit bigger but she has our whole large green house and a large tortoise run outside. Also both of my tortoises are rescued. Jack the bigger one was picked up by a dog when she lived in the wild in Cyprus and the dogs teeth went right through her shell. And my dad looked after them whilst he was in the British a emu but situated in Cyprus but then they travelled back to the UK

Just a thought, My wife started chopping up our 2 torts dandelion and veggies. They seem to eat more with the bite size pieces instead of tearing their own. Love the enclosure!

Recently subscribed to your channel. I am a lifetime reptile/amphibian parent and I just want to say thank you. There is not enough awareness of how to properly take care of and raise amphibians and reptiles. What you're doing is extremely important. I can rest a bit easier at night knowing you are properly educating the general public on how to properly care for these prehistoric and wonderful animals. I personally have a 25yo map turtle as well as a 17yo pond slider that were both raised since hatch-lings. I have also rescued/raised many various other reptiles. Sorry for this paragraph long comment, but I just had to express my gratitude for the awesome thing you're doing.

[@LorisHartland]

Thank you!!!

Instead of the fake hide, use nasturtium, it grows fast, works well as a hide, and it's tortoise safe

Awwww so cute! I have a sulcata tortoise and I built a home around this size for him (he is now in the backyard because he got really big), I also put down some plastic as a moisture barrier, but I stapled it down so he could not pull it up (I replaced the plastic every time I cleaned his cage) edit: you kinda look like Jenna Fischer

[@suewho2302]

I made a tortoise table too. For my Russian Lois. According to the vet, she is roughly 40 years old. Ive had her for 15 years. I bought a plastic top table and put wood around the sides. I lined it with a tarp.It's about 3×6 or so.
