Hi Adriana, you have come to the best place there is for advice on how to keep your tortoise happy and healthy so welcome to you and Kaia.

My eldest sister once organised a jumble sale in our garden in the UK to raise money to help the people of Skopje after there had been an earthquake - a long time ago now - I wasn't very old at the time but your intro reminded me about it.

If that's a wild tortoise it may have trouble adjusting to life indoors. It would be good if if had an outdoor habitat, at least during the day in the good weather.

The earthquake was before I was born, I'm surprised someone knows of it, usually people just wonder where Skopje is. Thank you for the kind words!

I have a backyard and during the day in spring and summer I'm going to make an outdoor space for it, but I'm really scared a cat would pass by and harm it...

This is the box I got for the terrarium I'm going to make. It's 31 liters, I think it's okay for starters. Going to plant various plants, still reading which ones are the best. Any advice is more than welcome!
