5. Yes I do soak him once every two days. (Is that enough?) Although, the plate isn't really deep, so most of the time I have to fight back against his feet. I'm thinking of replacing the plate with a terracotta plant saucer.
As for the gender, is the picture of the cracked plastron in the OP...
I don't want to create a new thread so I'm posting this here. I have a couple questions
1. His urine is a really light blue coloring. It is solid/pasty. Is this fine?
2. I got rid of most of the squash, and gave him a lot of grass, hibiscus leaves, rose leaves and grape leaves. He's also eating...
What I'm concerned about though is that where we found him, he was on the edge of the street and I assume hurt (looking at the cracks). I'm scared that he might not be able to find food/gets run over by a car. Should I be concerned or will he be all good on his own?
Okay, so I have zero experience with dealing with tortoises. We just found one outside some days ago so we decided to keep him. Here and here is what he looks like. I assume he's a Hermann's Tortoise (please tell me if I'm wrong). Haven't taken him to the vet yet and we keep him in our garden...
