Hermann's tortoise
At least 13 at a time.
The cheapest tortoise I could find was a horsfield tortoise £89 hermann tortoises, spur-thighed tortoises and marginated tortoises all cost £99.
A western Hermann's tortoise will stop growing at anywhere from 3 to 8 inches, while an eastern Hermann's tortoise will grow to 11 inches and weigh 6 to 9 lbs.

Yes. The Hermann Tortoise (Testudeo Hermanni) or Russian Tortoise as it is often called is predated by wolves, rats, boars, weasles and badgers. They are most at risk when young.
Yes - most reptiles spend a lot of time 'sleeping'.
You cannot crossbreed tortoises. Each species of tortoise has a gut flora peculiar to that species. The gut flora of one species can prove dangerous to another species.Different species of tortoise should not be kept together. While a very few, in the wild, may cross into each others habitat on occasions, such as the Hermann (Testudo hermanni) and the Horsfield (Testudo horsfieldii) they are not known to interbreed.
Basically the hare is taking the mick out of the tortoise because its alot quicker so trys to show off by having a nap right at the end of the race however the tortoise takes over him while the hares still asleep and wins!
