HI there. A while ago I posted asking the sex and type of two tortoises that were at my daughters pre-school. They were not being taken care of properly.
Well, I ended up taking care of one of them over the summer (her name is Heidi) and now the school has been closed and no-one wants to know which is probably a good thing as the poor little thing was just fed on apples every day with the occasional piece of cucumber and carrots. Not the best diet I found out. I have been feeding her organic lettuces', kale, dandelions, hibiscus flowers etc. I also have Mazuri food for her but I don't give it that often. She wanders around my house all day because she is an escape artist and has escaped too many times for me to let her outside. I let her wander around the house because all they gave me to keep her in was a glass fish tank maybe 3 foot long.
I really do not want her. I just took her because I can't bear to see animals not being taken care of properly. She deserves a great home to make up for her poor care before. So, I would love to find her a new home. One where she will be given the best care, have lots of room and perhaps some friends. A home with someone who is very experienced with tortoises.
Heidi is a Russian tortoise and she is female, so I was told on this forum. She is approximately 6 inches long, shell only. I really do not want to ship so I would prefer someone in the Northern California area to come get her. I am in the Bay area. I will also give you the Mazuri food which I have quite a lot of stored in my freezer. I will only give her to known members of this forum so I can be sure she is going to the right place. Hope you can help.
I will text pics to anyone who gives me their number.
