    New tortoise friend advice

    Trying to figure out how to post a pic! we had a 10-12ft circular rock wall area about 20 inches high that was unused. We blocked the steps with a solid fence, and put ledges over potential escape routes so he can’t see. But he sees me come in and out for feeding and keeps staring at the spot...

    Adopted a Hermann’s tortoise found roaming in tropical 65-85f humid climate. We made a 10’ circle enclosure with bask, hill, tunnel, cave. Lots of veggies planted, and if it gets too cold/wet we bring him inside in a cardboard chariot. He still wants to escape! We have had him 2 months but given...
