Hi All,
I am a first time tortoise owner and would love to hear everyone's thoughts on our new addition, husbandry and tips. i have only had her for 3 days now. I am a little unsure of the sex, though the previous owner believed she was a she. Male or Female? She has a bit of pyramiding and though not much we can do to eliminate it, I am hoping we can minimize it over time. seems to be very healthy.
feeding every morning, a few muzuri pellets mixed with greens. has grass available to graze all day, and baby carrot treat every once in awhile.
the enclosure is temporary, as we build a much larger permanent one. Organic soil substrate, organic grass seed planted. I mist the enclosure in the mornings, right before it gets hot, seems to enjoy it. Organic wheat grass is what you see in the pic. we lock up the house at night, after it settles in.
Hope to hear from you and thank you for the support in advance!
