My Hermann Tortoise Enclosure

Give us a like: / thesmallpetshop
This has been requested a few times, so here is Sheldon's tortoise table. Sheldon is a three year old medeteranian tortoise and this is his enclosure at the moment. He will be getting a bigger table as he grows. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for watching :)

[@minniefizzypancakes8733]

THIS IS SO CUUUTE I have an adult horsefield tortoise who is VERY affectionate and climbs into a corner when he wants to be held or cuddled and I personally think it's adorable

[@BeckysAnimals]

Aww he sounds like a character 😊

[@minniefizzypancakes8733]

He really is 😊

[@Sean-sw1vz]

@NoTopic YT some people dont

[@andrewchernikin1021]

You take great care of your tortoise. You made a lovely house for him , making him feel nice and comfortable. You’re great!

[@sazm1233]

I also have a hermann tortoise named sheldon....i just cant tell u how much i love him ❤❤❤ hes soooo cute and couldnt imagine life without him

[@SRA1031]

Oh my! He is absolutely gorgeous! He seems like such a character. His home is amazing, it looks perfect. Loved this video!

[@libbyfaye5859]

I’ve researched a lot of reptiles (I think they’re really cute and cool 😂) but tortoises seem to be the ones my parents agree with :) so I’m doing LOTS of research in hopes to get one soon! This video really helped :)

[@logenmrls]

Me too! I'm doing lots of research as well, and i'm super excited :D

[@dawn8339]

Same

[@AbriPanjaitan]

Me too !!!! 🤣🤣👍👍👍👍

[@marty3907]

My tortoise just lives in my garden, loads of room, trees, plants, soil to dig in. Hibernates throughout winter, then we put food out everyday day or so for him during spring through summer.

[@Jose_624]

how is the tortoise doing after 4 years

[@phillipaclark1832]

When they are young it's best they are kept indoors with access to uvb and uva rays and of course correct temps

[@kikitcat5]

Hell no. I would personally never risk it, imo.

[@roxaliemt42]

Thanks for sharing! Love his enclosure! Sheldon is so cute.

[@hazed3487]

I love watching videos of other people so in love with their tortoises 😇 I'm getting a baby tortoise tomorrow and I'm so excited!

[@unstoppableace3457]

I'm 3 years late but this little guy is awesome :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

He's still around starring in some of my videos :) Feel free to check out the tortoise section on my channel x

[@BeckysAnimals]

Baby tortoises are tiny, he has just turned 3 :) He is about 5 inches long, he could grow up to 8 inches but it depends if he is a boy or a girl ( It's hard to tell because he is too young, I think he is a boy but Sheldon could be a Shelly haha) I am hoping to do a diet video soon so that might help you if you decide to get a Hermann :)

[@ryanando]

just wanted to say thankyou for posting this video. we recently got my brothers tortoise to look after and ive been stressing over his habitat. youve given me lots of ideas how to make it better for him and he seems to be really curious about everything in his enclosure now. one happy tort!

[@perfectpetsx]

Ah i love sheldon! His enclosure looks great!

[@BeckysAnimals]

+Miss Zeus, 2 or 3 times a week, she also has access to fresh water in a shallow dish in her enclosure at all times and is pretty good at soaking herself too :)

[@jeffrivera6]

hi, is she breeding already? thanks.. :)

[@littlelotti24]

+Jeff Cobain she thinks it's a boy, :)

[@jeffrivera6]

littlelotti24 yeah, but she already figured it out.. :) i wonder how is shelldon doing right now.. (^_^)

[@littlelotti24]

+Jeff Cobain idk I miss him haha or her?

[@jeffrivera6]

littlelotti24 she made a new video about shelldon just few days ago.. :)

[@Sarahlizify]

I have a Greek tortoise named Sheldon! :) he's named after Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory

[@BeckysAnimals]

So is mine, I love that show :)

[@heylautam1379]

Lovely turtle,beautiful color of the shell.

[@koryakmooseman4756]

So cute!

[@GhaThayeu]

your voice's cute

[@bercdemir2285]

g-Littlebrother Channel i know here voice is cute

[@BeckysAnimals]

+dcgc2012 I recommend following the Tortoise Trust's advise of a mix of top soil and Children's play sand. I have also found that many tortoise resources provide conflicting advice, it's hard to know who to listen to. You might want to play around with the quantities to find out what works best for your tort, I started with a 50/50 mix and now it's more like 70/30 (70 being the top soil).

[@kikitcat5]

It also can depend on breed/personality as well so it's so conflicting. That was the worst part when we were new owners.

[@JoeSmith-fq5lv]

Aww he's so cute and it's so awesome how much you love him ;) ;)

[@catcafe4802]

Beautiful healthy shell.

[@andrewmorgan1938]

Hello, I'm thinking of getting this breed of tortoise, but research is difficult as different websites say different things. Your tortoise looks healthy and If you wouldn't mind, can I ask how often you feed it and with what?

[@BeckysAnimals]

It is difficult finding reliable info on tortoises, I recommend the Tortoise Trust: www.tortoisetrust.org/ Here is my diet video: Mediterranean Tortoise Diet - Hermann's, Horsfield's, Greek, Egyptian and Marginated. , the best diet is a variety of fresh edible weeds, flowers and grasses as it is the most natural, I just fill up his bowl as it runs out so he can have a munch whenever he chooses :)

[@andrewmorgan1938]

Thank you so much

[@BeckysAnimals]

No problem :)

[@Roblox.iblueberriess]

Yes

[@tristancope7471]

7:00 Died.

[@lavedahernandez7844]

Very cute little tortoise.

[@petulaschonack625]

I've seen many tortoise homes to get some tips for my t. hermanni and yours is the absolutely most beautiful and practical. Thanks for the video.

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you so much :) I'd like to build him a bigger one in the future but for now he enjoys it and it's really easy to keep clean :)

[@shitsnorkel]

I have one too and his name is splat because he loves water lol

[@cartermykichuk9754]

Julia The Unicorn do they get big?

[@waffles3309]

tortises are soppouse to get in swim in water

[@user-uf7bn2wk8k]

Tortoises are turtles that live on land turtle is a type that lives in water

[@hazimyasim3882]

Julia Rose p

[@oren8699]

Waffles no they aren't those are turtle, tortoises live on land, tho they do take dips in the water

[@zeeriyaz7335]

How big to Hermann tortoises get? And can you please leave some suggestions for tortoises that don't get to big and stay in the smaller side. Thanks

[@gabriellaflores4306]

Zee Riyaz The smallest fully grown are the musk tortoise, and Hermann tortoises also stay small (6-8in.) Russian tortoises also stay small.

[@zeeriyaz7335]

Gabriella Flores thanks so much for the help! I did some research, & I did find out that the musk tortoise isn't the best for me, but thank you so much for the help

[@dante4689]

Zee Riyaz you can get a Greek tortoise

[@dante4689]

Zee Riyaz I have one that's similar to like of this tortoise on the video

[@jenniferfarelas7013]

Zee Riyaz box turtles dont grow to big they grow about 6-8 inches😊

[@patriciam4123]

He's quite the explorer! Very sweet boy!

[@bec4874]

He's adorable! He's obviously a well loved little guy. :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you

[@tommorrissey3905]

you know where any breeders in NI

[@jackmorrissey4841]

Have you had any luck. You could maybe try the reptile shop!

[@BeckysAnimals]

ILIKEBARBECUEs So I DO I only have lists of reputable breeders in the UK so I'm not much help here. You could try asking on tortoise forum and see if anyone knows. Make sure the one you go for is captive bred and not taken from the wild. Maybe you could look into adopting?

[@genghiskhan8793]

ILIKEBARBECUEs So I DO I bought mine in reptile hunters and he's very good, a Hermann costs 150 pounds

[@lilylarkin5717]

Hi, I'm from NI too!!

[@Spud3018]

Does your tortoise smoke crack

[@oren8699]

Spud3018 Yes, why?

[@BeckysAnimals]

Awww it sounds like he/she is a huge character :) He/she will be really happy soon with such a caring new owner :)

[@jadeybabey]

Very cute tortoise you have there :). I cannot wait to get one!

[@Renee11123]

So cute! Naming a tortoise sheldon is so cute!

[@destinygyp]

hes absolutely gorgeous

[@among-us-99999]

My tortoises only have a glass tank with some substrate, but they spend the whole summer outside and are only in their enclosure when it’s too cold outside.

[@atodag728]

very cute and a very healthy smooth shell

[@capkarr]

Awwwe your turtle is lovely....

[@Breenut450]

Sheldon's adorable! I have a Hermans tortoise too, mines a 3 year old male named Turtle! I'm glad I came across your video, I've been looking for ideas for his future enclosure. The one he has now works, but its a bit boring so I've been looking for ideas to spruce it up. I love what you've done with Sheldon's enclosure, and it's given me lot's of inspiration on what I can do with Turtle's enclosure!

[@niquejonique]

I love that moment where you turned him around and he turns right back. Lol.

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you so much, such a compliment coming from you, Smokey's enclosure is awesome :)

[@younginsurvival]

Nice Video! ! Great Setup

[@pastellarblx6176]

That’s such a pretty enclosure!

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you :) They are such fun pets :)

[@spnnnnn]

I'm getting a tortoise next week and I've not been able to make up my mind between the horsefield and the hermann. After seeing Your Sheldon and his beautiful shell Im 100% getting a hermann! Thanks for uploading this video I enjoyed it and its helped me alot :-)

[@Polyglot02]

Sheldon is so cute!! I really love his shell! :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you, me too, I love his markings :)

[@kellyward1217]

X8cvgvin

[@presidenthonor]

Its so funny how he just climbs on top of his food! I want a turtle soo much.

[@BeckysAnimals]

President_Honor They are such characters :D

[@thejasosei]

such a perfect enclosure!

[@Ellie-dn6ew]

MiintBlu hey youutube is a small place

[@thejasosei]

It sure is :)

[@williambroadbent9056]

SOOOOOOO AWSOME

[@ScarA]

Thank you.

[@BeckysAnimals]

It's great you are finding out everything about them before bringing one home :) a table is your best bet as it has better ventilation than a vivarium and I change the soil/sand about every 3 weeks, he doesn't need cleaning out much but does need plenty of soaks :)

[@Turtleloverextreme]

thats a beautiful Hermann tortoise

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you so much, she is a beauty :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

Awesome :) I'm not an expert but I have learnt a lot about torts since bringing Sheldon home and I spend a lot of time doing research :)

[@lizzrobb2313]

I love your vid.The turtle is sooooooo cute

[@tortillathetortoise8507]

Love his bow tie

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you :) I have never owned any other species so I don't know how he differs but he is a character and I love their markings :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

He sounds like such a character XD that is so sweet :) Sheldon gets himself on his back sometimes too, he only seems to climb when we are in though in case anything goes wrong XD

[@carly0604]

thank you

[@projectzip]

Since having my Horsefield I find it funny how much more active he is when people are around.

[@adrenburnett5472]

U have a very lovely voice

[@paulinecollingwood1929]

[@arztodaycc]

I love your laugh. Made my day 500% better. cx

[@MegansPets]

[@piggiewiggiewhoohoo]

Aww he is so cute I have always wanted a tortoise :)

[@PippaJaynee]

Thanks help me a lot and gave me some tips on how to look after my own tortoise

[@BeckysAnimals]

Yay :) I have heard Hermanns are slightly easier to care for but I have never had a Horsefield so I can't really compare, how exciting though, good luck with your new tort and i'm soo glad I could help :D

[@VivianLeesy]

Good setup :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you :)

[@kodynor]

hes so cute! great video too!:D

[@adriel315]

um, you have the cutest voice/accent. dios mio!

[@MrLordick69]

I cant wait for my tortoise to be this active. I just got him 3 days ago and i know he needs sometime to adjust to the new environment.

[@BeckysAnimals]

They are amazing animals :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you soo much :)

[@perehn8910]

Adorable! I have an greek tortoise as well. She is about 9 years old now and need a huuuuge terrarium.

[@Smallwitz]

she sounds beautiful

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you :)

[@OrisueCrew]

She is so cute! I want one. Have to wait until I am employed and have my own place though.

[@BudgetBunny]

Awwwwww itty bitty baby tortie needs baths!!! I'm melting hahaha

[@debbieleestorey8066]

i like how you say sheldon

[@TheAnimalPapa]

Your very welcome!

[@jackmatthews6440]

extremely helpful

[@BeckysAnimals]

I'm so glad :) I have tortoise care videos on my channel too if they would be of use to you :)

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you :D

[@steve7strings]

The video and sheldon was so attractive that i missed to look at the caption and details, i will like your page on facebook. I am not on youtube all the time unless it needs for some digging n research :) But i am glad that i came across your video and know more :) I will keep up with you in fb. And the small pet shop you have is beautiful :) Looking forward to know more bout all of them. Cheers [Anish Thomas]

[@clock_workrobin3454]

Sheldon certainly seems happy enough, im getting a tortoise soon and was considering an outdoor enclosure, due to the fact i heard they can be "less active" indoors, but this video has made me consider the option of a indoor enclosure again. ^_^

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you :) He just turned 3.

[@amelia1]

Thankyou! :)

[@silksoul6388]

Looks like Sheldon From Splatoon Became a full tortoise, its so cute petshop!

[@BeckysAnimals]

Great idea! I will try and get it filmed soon :)

[@SamtheIrishexan]

We have had ours a couple weeks now. Luckily in South Texas I am able to take him outside daily to acclimate him to the humidity but soon he will have an enclosure indoors and outdoors. My dogs are the biggest obstacle but they are curious not aggressive.

[@BeckysAnimals]

Thank you so much! He definitely is a character and quiet but demanding haha :)

[@MegansPets]

Great enclosure! Sheldon's is super cute! :) I have 2 russian tortoises and a burmese brown mountain tortoise :)
