Growing like a weed

[Dbrocato2]

Changed up the floor plan a bit because I had to dump my mulch. Added some more rocks and a cool log to break things up a bit.. He's not thrilled about it but was exploring. MILES is now 16 weeks old and double the size from when I got him.

Cute pictures.

In the last pic with the clover? That is perlite. Extremely dangerous to tortoises. They will eat it and it breaks down and lines their GI tract. That soil needs to be removed ASAP, or the tortoise removed from the area.

Its fine to use as potting soil to grow tortoise food, but the tortoise should never have access to the perlite. I just cut the food with scissors and then put it in the tortoise enclosure.
