Also sorry for the caption, my friend took that and sent me it so hopefully no one takes it too seriously. I’m currently away so he’s taking good care of her for me!

Hi everyone! It’s been a long while since I updated....woops. So not only does my tortoise Dozer have a nice big enclosure now, but I also discovered that “he” is a she! Figured this out awhile ago after the pet store told me that she was a male haha. She has plenty of room to roam about, and...

I'll post pictures once I get it all the way built:D and I'm happy to let you know that when I went home for lunch during school, I went and checked on him and he had eaten some of his salad I placed for him!
