I have read so much about torts in the last week I feel like my brain is going to explode! But there is nothing like hearing from experienced tort owners! Ok, so I bought my tort this morning from petsmart. I know what they were feeding him was wrong because he has never had fresh veggies or fruit, so I have offered him a plate of : diced carrots, tomato, celery, cucumber, and romaine. He wont touch it! He was also in cedar chunks, which I know is toxic. Hephaestus is now in a organic top soil, repti- calcium sand 50/50 mix with timothy hay strewn around. He is very active and crawling all over the bin. I have a repti-sun UVB/UVA spiral light and a 90w heat lamp. He has a mini soaking dish in his habitat with him. He will be getting a plastic kiddy pool with the same substrate mix for outside play on Thursday. Also, he pooped on my hand today and it looked like a red/brown clay. Normal?? Whew! So after reading all this, any advice or pointers would be great!
