Hi
I'm new to keeping tortoises and am worried about my baby horsefield
I've had him for 6 months and was told he was a year old when I got him
He started squeeking last month so I took him too a vet who told me to change his substrate from soil to newspaper and add a red heat bulb to keep on all night
She also told me he is very small for his age
He is eating ok but quite fussy mainly salad leafs and corn
He goes in the garden most days for an hour or so when it's warm and eats the weeds etc
I bathe him daily
Am I doing everything right?
Would really appreciate any help.
