No one really knows why turtles will chew on rocks - some think it is because they are bored - make sure you rotate the fixtures in the cage on a regular basis to stimulate the turtle. Some turtles also may use rocks to assist in filing down their beaks so check yours to see if it has larger than normal growth - you should see the vet to take care of this if it is impeding the turtles ability to eat. Also make sure the turtles diet has calcium, chewing on rocks may be a low diet of necessary minerals - remember that reptiles need UV light to help absorb calcium from their foodand sustain good growth.

What age will your Herman tortoises have babies?
I am an owner of a Herman Tortoise and I wanted to find out exactly the same question. I found out that Herman Tortoises breed when they are roughly about 5/7 years. Possibly 7 years and also the female doesn't have to have sexual intercourse with a male because sometimes the females can just produce eggs anyway. Hope this answers your question, for more information visit a Tortoise website to give you other facts and tips on how to look after you Tortoise.
