His diet is mostly cucumber as he doesn't eat anything else. I've tried different things, but he refuses. So, It's primarily cucumber chopped finely, and I mix it with chopped hibiscus leaves, coriander and Zuchini.
I have a bulb installed for heat, and I expose him in direct sunlight almost everyday for 30-45 minutes.
I soak him in lukewarm water for 15 minutes everyday.
Substrate: Mixture of mud and sand.
I'm not too sure about the temperature, the weather is not that cool here though, it is somewhere...

Thanks :)
Should I he have access to food all the time? or Should I keep some specific time for feeding separately?
How often should I feed? and how many times a day?

I don't know if I'm feeding the right things or not. I live in India, so I don't have access to...
RE: Help in Identifying Breed
I'm from India, Tortoises are not available at pet stores. I went to my local fish shop to get stuff for my aquarium, and I saw it there.
They had kept it in terrible conditions in a small box, so brought it home. I think I'll care for it in a much better way...
