I am a student living with parents in India. As a country which is just developing an interest in exotic pet keeping (dogs and cats being the majority), I find it very difficult to understand exactly what to do with my tortoise. Given as a gift, we had no prior setup or the time to research a bit. I have kept dogs since childhood, so I have no issues with meal prep, routine, etc.
My problem lies with the informative videos of youtube, the blogs written on the net about care for tortoise. As someone who lives in Mumbai, the humidity is usually above 60%. And sun is not a problem with us Indians. The breed of tortoise I have is Indian Star Tortoise(x3).
The videos, usually by people in the UK/USA talk about humidity, Lighting, and some exotic grasses. I need someone to tell me exactly what I can feed my tortoise in India.
Lots of grass, things which people get in UK/US are not commonly found in my country.
Someone from India tell me what items I can feed my tortoise.
Tortoise Size and Weight -- 40g/5.3cm | 28g/4.1cm | 31g/5cm
Days Owned -- 2 days
Status -- Not Eating, minimal coriander consumption. 30 min soak in morning. misting with spray every 2 hr.
Housing -- Photo Attached. 2-4 hr sun.
