Hello, i hope you are all doing well
I was gifted this tortoise few days ago and I have noticed a small crack on the shell.
I’ve read here that it could be a result of dehydration. If this is the case then is soaking the little guy every morning would solve this? I rubbed his shell with a little bit of olive oil, is it safe?
Also is he a Greek?
