General
- Which is the best, a hatchling or adult tortoise?
Both hatchlings and older tortoises are as easy to keep as one another, besides the obvious size difference a healthy tortoise requires the same care throughout its life.
- Which tortoise species is the easiest to keep?
Marginated's, Herman's, Ibera's and Horsefield's are all generally hardier and easier to maintain, thus recommended, compared to that of more tropical species where environmental conditions can be more difficult to replicate.
