Default size of indoor table for 2/3 Western Hermann's

Hello... I am new to this forum. Basically I have a 5ft X 3ft tortoise table. At the moment I have two gorgeous 6 month old baby tortoises but I may be getting a third of nearly the same age.
What I want to know is peoples helpful opinions... will this size table big enough for 3 western Hermann's? (I will naturally be putting them outside in the better weather in another enclosure too.) Thanks for your any help

Agree.They (even if you take third tortoise) should be fine there about 2-3 years then you may need bigger one.

Hi. At that age the testudo hermanni hermanni tortoise is still a tiny creature and your table would be plenty big enough for number 3 too.

I have a special interest in this subspecies and always very interested in photos! Please do post photos if you have some!
