#Hermann's tortoise

[nature4life]

My tortoise, Oscar, he is a Hermann's tortoise and is currently hibernating. We don't know his age, but we think it's around 75-80ish. How do I know he's a male? Male tortoises have shorter tails and a curved undershell.

Ferdinand the tortoise has decided he is very angry with me for bringing him inside when it started raining.

He demanded to be hand fed cactus for a bit and then started munching loudly in a show of passive aggressiveness.

This is the same tortoise that threw a tantrum when I didn't fetch him quickly enough when it started raining.

Now he's giving me the stink eye.

New tortoise parent here, I've had my Herman's tortoise, Sheldon since late January, I've been doing independent research on what types of enclosures are best for my little guy, currently it's pretty basic. I'm actually a bit sad about how bare bones it is, there's very little enrichment for him, but ever time I try to put any plants in his home he crushes them. Should I try to put larger more established plants in, so far what I've tried has been some pretty small. I've also been wanting to put some rocks in his enclosure as well but whenever I look up what types of rocks to put in the information is conflicting. I have a decent amount of smooth river stoned I've thoroughly cleaned, but I want to be sure they're safe before I put them in. I don't want to use fake plants because I'm worried he'd try to eat them. Anyone have advice, I just want to give my dude the best home I can. He means a lot to me.
