I bought him thinking he was 4-5 months old but @Tom said he looks like 4-5 years old Golden greek He is in a closed chamber

The substrate dries so fast, how can I fix this issue? It’s pure coco coir

The top of the substrate is drying so fast, why is it like that? And how can i make it wet again?

Should i keep him burrowed if i want to soak him? Or should i take him out and soak him?

Will he grow as fast as if he was less than 1 year old? Or will he grow slowly? Also is this burrowing safe? I saw him burrow a couple of times before but he wasn’t like this, he was half burrowed and most of his shell was outside...

How can i be 100% sure of its age? And if they are not fully grown and 4-5 years old, should i keep the humidity 90%+? Or should i maintain it under 80%?

I don’t think that there is any chance for a fully grown golden greek to be only 7.5 cm, is there? Also i should add calcium powder every other day, right? And for adding new food should i mince the food for the first time adding new food only? Or do it a couple of times?

Everything i got for the enclosure was after asking here in the forum in a previous thread, also I don’t think that it’s 4-5 years old at all because it’s still really small and the seller had one much bigger, of course i had it for only a week by now, it’s a golden greek so it shouldn’t be that...

What about the food, should i put it as it is? Or cut it to bite sizes? Also my tortoises doesn’t eat the mulberry leaves unless i don’t give them any other thing and they even doesn’t finish it, but when i give them the romaine lettuce the finish it immediately, same goes with coriander.

The tortoise is 4-5 months old, and the humidity in the enclosure is 97%+ most of the time, i try to open the doors every now and then to reduce it to around 85%, because i feel that its too high, but it immediately goes back to 97%+, looks like the water dish is the reason, since when i soak...

I just saw these cracks in the first picture, and the second picture looks like the shell is peeling? I got them three days ago and when i focused on the pictures of when i first got them all of these was there So is it ok and will be healed on its own? Or is there anything i should do? Note...
