Hello there! I've always kept snakes / lizards / fish but never a tortoise. A friend of a friend had got one for her child for a present but it wasn't really wanted or cares for properly therefore I wanted to take it and make its life happy. I've been researching a lot but there's a lot of conflicting information. I asked the person what breed and they didn't no (I think he looks like a Horsfield but can someone confirm? Also I'm worried he has Metabolic bone disease becouse his shell plates are risen and the previous owner only had a heat bulb and natura light. I've given him a bowel of mixed veg and fruit and he's been outside for a couple of hours and looked very happy and inquisitive and eaten some garden weeds he's got a very big appetite so surely he couldn't have to bad MBS to be like this? I'm going to get some calcium dust tomorrow and a UV heat combation lamp I hope this is right. Please help me I want to make him happy and healthy here are some pics of his set up plus shell and too see what breed he is! Thank you!!
