I told our story in the introduction tab for anyone that is wondering. I found this guy here in south texas and im positive he's someones pet by his actions but nobody has claimed him after 2 weeks now. I love tortoise's and have owned them for most of my life so he's in luck! Anyhow a few things off the top of my mind are:
- He paces back and forth all day along our northern fence line in the backyard. (which is in the direction i found him). Is this normal?
- At night he's been sleeping in the 4 corners of the yard and never goes to the shelter i built for him which bothers me. i dont know if its best to pick him up and put him in the shelter at night or just let him be un disturbed like ive been doing.
- Do I need a light for him in his shelter during these months? I know when it gets cold I will but i think its only been dropping to high 50's right now down here in south texas.
Thanks for any info !
