I most definitely will! If I have any questions I'll come bother you guys.
He ate about the same amount he ate yesterday. I hope his appetite picks up with time as he gets more comfortable.
He seemed more active today which I hope is a good sign. He did some exploring and a lot of digging. He...
Thank you so much it answered a lot of my questions. All of you have been fantastic! So much useful information. You don't know how much I appreciate everything.
Thanks for letting me know about the choking hazards. I went around the neighborhood to see if anyone had thrown out some opuntia cactus after cleaning up after the hurricane and I found some. I'm going to plant it in the backyard. How would I prepare that for him? Should I peel the skin off.
Good to know the plastron will heal.
I'll try offering him some mango today. Do you have any idea what amount of food would be considered normal for a 3 inch tortoise?
I'm definitely going to need heater. I had placed a hydrometer thermometer that I used to use for grow mushrooms in his...
Poor thing maybe where he came from they had a heat mat. Will he plastron heal on its own from the burn or do you recommend anything to help it heal?

Ok thanks for letting me know. I saw multiple people recommend it online but I guess it was misinformation. I'll take it out. What do you recommend for lighting. I've seen so much different information on lighting that at this point I'm confused. For now I just take him outside in his container...
Thank you so much for the reply and for the tip! While looking online on information on red foot tortoises I noticed that people soak them so I did soak him today but I didn't know it was supposed to be twice a day and for that long. Thank you for letting me know. I placed sphagnum moss in the...
Hello this is my first time posting here and would like a more experienced persons opinion. I've never owned a tortoise before so I'm just learning. Recently my mother found a tortoise in the garden upside down and she called me to tell me it was a little listless. I told her to soak it in a...
