Hi! I just got Peaches, my Russian tortoise, yesterday, and have a couple of questions.
1. I made her a kale and turnip green mix and put it in her enclosure this morning, but she doesn't seem interested. Is it okay if I feed her in the afternoon or evening instead? I'm wondering if that's when she was fed at the pet store.
2. I soaked her today in lukewarm water, but it was cold by the 10 minutes mark and she was trying to climb out. I took her out because I was worried she was getting cold. Should the water be a bit warmer next time or is what I did okay?
3. When can I start taking her out to hold and let her explore my room? Does she need an adjustment period in the enclosure first?
