Hi all :). I've just taken on a rescue red footed tortoise. He's 3-4 years old and not had a good start at all. He's had no uv lighting, fed pinkies twice a week (from what I can see has some pyramiding) and has a very dry shell. I bathed him last night which he loved (he pooped lots of times in the bath) and his shell looks a bit cleaner today :)

I hope you don't mind but I will probably have lots of questions about his care because I really want to make up for the rubbish start to life he has had :)
