Hey guys, I am kind of in a weird situation with this tortoise right now and I would love if you guys could help me out
A friend of my parents offered to give us a tortoise, my parents are not the best when it comes to taking care of animals (as long as the pet is getting food and water he should be fine kind of people), but since I love turtles they accepted.
So now I have this tortoise with me and I have no idea of how to take care of him/her. I don't know the species or sex of this little guy. I have read a little online to get an idea of how to care of him and I am trying to get my parents to take him to the veterinary so they can help us out but on the meantime, I think other tortoise owners could give me some good help with some of this questions.
-is it okay for him to be inside the house or should he be outside?
-the whole temperature lights and UV lights stuff I read, I am really confused about this. Especially since I live in northern Sonora Mexico, a desert place, and I don't know how I should be taking care of his temperature.
-what should I feed him?
I am love with this little tortoise and I want to make sure he has a healthy place to live so any advice is welcomed.
