Hi everyone!
My husband and I have recently acquired a (roughly) 5 year old Horsefield, newly named Ronald! We took him in whilst a friend was going through a rough break up and have sort of now adopted him!
My family had tortoises when I was young but I didn’t really have much to do with them so would love anyone’s advice on the best way to care for Ronald.
He came to us with a table approximately 4foot by 2foot (horrendously small I know!), so I have ordered a much much larger one for him so just waiting for that to be delivered.
What I’m most confused about is the best substrate to use in the table - we went to a reptile shop to ask for some advice and the lady said to have coco coir in the table with moss in the hide - is this right?!
Help!
Thank you x
