    Need advice on whether to keep my tortoise

    Need advice on whether to keep my tortoise

    Hey, so I've been a tortoise owner for years now, but I'm concerned that I'm not taking good enough care of my tortoise. My tortoise is a yellowfoot and I named her Tortellini, Lini for short. I got her in 2014 I think. When I got her she was 12 years old, so she's like 19 now. At the time she...
