Hey everyone!
To start I am from the South West of England... currently experiencing a rare heat wave.
I have recently been given a tortoise. I do not know its gender though I keep referring to it as a he.
His name is Horatio (the choice of my 89 yr old Nan).
We have made him a large run at least 2 metres by 1 metre, with a covered warm area. I am looking into getting a dish that is easily accessible for him to bathe and drink, though I have been bathing him daily (too much?).
I have been led to believe he is 1 years old.
I am committed to giving Horatio the best possible life and I have joined this forum for advice really from those with so much more experience.
I'll attach a couple of pics, I have put a £1 coin next to Horatio (as a marker) in the hope some of you may be able to confirm/guess his age and breed.
