Outdoor habitat for western hermann tortoises

[@schildkroetenfreund]

It's really nice this Outdoor Habitat

[@mlapointej]

They really are adorable, look so much like mine. I just upgraded my one year old tortoise to his/her next size habitat

[@shellvillerescue9256]

We’d love to see yours!

[@rondamcbride6607]

What a beautiful job you did. That is beautiful

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Thank you! 🥰

[@sidharthmohanty5775]

It should have been a minimum of one hour video. I want to see more of these cuties.

[@michaelpopplewell5190]

looks amazing!

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Thank you!

[@ratmannlibertyhound6755]

Love the stream idea . You should do a walk-through or tutorial on how you built it.

[@shellvillerescue9256]

That’s a great idea! I’ll be doing a new enclosure this week or next and will definitely do that for you guys!

A lot of tortoises hope they will all get along

[@shellvillerescue9256]

So far they do. But we’re prepared to separate at a moment’s notice!

Hola soy Matthew soy tu fan

AHHHH THEY ARE SOOO CUTEEEE, the enclosure looks amazing! It's a shame my tortoise tries to escape every time we put him in his outdoor habitat -_-

[@shellvillerescue9256]

We have one of those too! :/ I’ll show some different lids and ways to make it escape proof

Beautiful set up 😁

[@andrewmeyer2673]

Fancy enclosure. Can I move in

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Haha. I know we’ve nailed it when WE want to live in it!

[@chaotika693]

Cuties!! I have a question, how did you set up the water dispenser thingy? I want to build something like that for my torts.

[@shellvillerescue9256]

I’m going to be showing two different options for some water fun for your torts next week!

Woooww nice place ..

[@jerryhermann7233]

Arent there shells supposed to be smooth?

[@alwaysyouramanda]

Omg! 😍😍😍

[@Isabelle-hd2qo]

Congratulations it s a wonderful place for them ! How Old are they ?

[@bigmike5340]

How has this been working out so far? Do you keep them out there over night or only when the suns out? Also have any predators attacked them?

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Hi Michael! We bring all of our tortoises (and bearded dragons) inside at night. We also place either bird net or chicken wire on top of almost all enclosures. Since we live in San Diego, we have large birds, raccoons, bobcats, and 100 other things that would probably like to play or eat one. 😐

[@joshantes4191]

They are so awesome!! I got my first eastern and I love it!! When you start producing will you sell baby's?

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Aren't they amazing?!?! Yes we will, but we've got a few more years before they'll be ready.

[@davonbrown6094]

Love your videos Do you have any for sale ?

[@omololaolatunji9111]

Okay. So it seems I'll be staying for these videos

[@myowndayone8722]

AwesomeSauce. Inspired. How you create the stream?

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Love that we’ve stirred up some inspiration! I’ll be doing another stream, as well as, a pondless pond this week. Stay tuned! 😃

[@dianeadkins1281]

Where do you put them when they out grow the exhibit?

[@shellvillerescue9256]

We build a bigger one! 😃

[@dianeadkins1281]

I've heard their shells are like finger prints to tell them apart, and I see the difference in them You can plant cabbage and lettuce and strawberries so they will always have food

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Yes, we can tell them apart because each of their shells are slightly different. These guys should munch mainly on weeds and grasses. (No fruit) This particular enclosure we’ve planted hibiscus and petunias- both of which they eat. They also munch on grape leaves (but not the grapes) and mulberry leaves. ☺️

[@tommyle9712]

how big do they get?

[@shellvillerescue9256]

These guys get about 5-6 inches for the females and only about 4-5 inches for the males. The Easterns get a bit bigger!

[@shaiksha6198]

You have to make some place for them area is too close and make one water round pound

[@shellvillerescue9256]

Hi Shaik, I'm not sure what you mean by "one water round pound"? You're totally right that as these guys grow, they're definitely need more space! We also wanted to make sure we included lots of visual barriers and hiding spots. This helps with any fighting amongst them, as well as hiding from predators.

[@shaiksha6198]

@@shellvillerescue9256 actually I was telling the water pound what made make it little deep, because for turtle they can go inside water when they heat to get cool

[@shellvillerescue9256]

They cannot swim though. They are land tortoises and not aquatic turtles. They safely enjoy laying in the stream and the pondless pond.

[@francescoguidi6660]

L avete visto dove abitano l hermanny ??? Credo di no ... Se ti sopravvivono qualche anno li ' nei sassi al ombra con l acqua e' un miracolo !

[@hoosier_turtles_and_tortoises]

Are you suggesting people have to duplicate the native range of every species out there? You realize many species including these Testudo herminni herminni are very adaptable and I have no doubt they are doing just fine there.

[@nellywolf8908]

As nice as the enclosure looks, it's far off their natural habitat :(.
