Hi
I've just taking on a tortoise, I think shes a Spur Thigh but am not totally sure. I didn't really want another one as I already have a big Leopard Tortoise but when I went to see her I couldn't leave it. She was living in a Viv with no substrate bedding or lights, her nail are way over grown and her beak. They also said she asnt been eating apart from the odd piece of rocket anyway I've let her out in the garden and I've noticed she will eat the odd bit of grass and the only other thing she will eat a bit of is watercress. I've got her booked in to the vets this week to get her nails and beak sorted but because I love in the middle of nowhere the vets don't really deal with animals like this. Is there anything I can do to help her and help her relax and settle in more and improve her diet. I don't think she's had much of a life outside this dark Viv so she still trying to hide in a corner all the time.
These where the pictures I was sent of her
