This questionnaire is intended to find out about the housing conditions of your tortoises.
For this purpose I need as much information as possible about your animals and the conditions in which they are currently kept.
I have included the questions concerning "stress and reproduction" in order to consider breeding efforts in detail.
Please try to answer all the questions as fully as possible.
I would be particularly grateful for any additional information that you think is important.

not perfect, but may get the ball rolling.
HTH

:)))
Thank you, Marianne!
(Once again...!)

@ Marianne:
but would you say housing conditions is better than keeping conditions?
Housing sound more like: What kind of building are they kept in? Whereas "Haltung" includes social structures as well as sun-basking spots, food etc.

hmm.
animals are "housed" or "kept" in zoos.
I may be wrong, but under "housing conditions" for animals in zoos, I would include all buildings, presence of other animals, open spaces, ponds, etc. in the enclosure. Wouldn't necessarily include food though.

"keeping conditions" just sounded a little strange to me - would it include food?

"Housing and husbandry conditions"?
Hallo Marianne.

Good question :)
exactly my problem...
How does one translate "Haltungsbedingungen" correctly.
But if you think "housing" sounds better... well, your English is better than mine :)

Dachte "husbandry" ist nur bei Nutztieren anzuwenden. Das sind Riesenschildkröten heutzutage nicht mehr...
