Much of this information is incorrect or out-of-date. Tortoises (esp Hermanns) cannot cope with humidity and need an open enclosure (tortoise table) not a vivarium. they shuold only be fed fruit occasionally or it can give them gut problems. They should be allowed to be outside as often as possible whenever it is warm enough. If you are thinking of getting a tortoise you need to know how much work it is - you will be responsible for a member of an endangered species! Check out The Tortoise Trust website for the best info.

Summary: Much of this care information is incorrect and misleading!
