Ok, so the new lil tortoise has had one bite of a dandelion leaf today, that's all I've seen him eat today. He's constantly trying to escape. He's on newspaper at the mo, and I'm worried about him having no grip. I've seen pics of tortoises on wood based pelleted cat litter, is this ok to put him on for the time being, as I have a large sack. I don't drive, so I'm gonna have to make do until I can find someone to take me to the reptile centre probably at the weekend. I have a cabinet which we used to have a marine tank stood on, it is 65.5 inches by 23 inches, and I was thinking about making a tortoise enclosure on the top, but feel it may be a little small, he is about 5 inches big. It's in my living room, and was wondering if it would be too noisy there for him. Can I take him outside as it's sunny today, and just let him have a walk around my garden (entirely supervised of course) I think as he's been on the run, he just wants to go! I feel sorry for him. I have had advice on here to have a humid area to hide, but elsewhere I have read that they must be kept in dry conditions otherwise they get infections and runny noses! I'm confused! Also he hasn't drunk anything at all. Should I give him a luke warm bath? If so do you submerse all of them apart from their head? Also, he hasn't had a poo since I've had him, but my Aunt said he had a poo yesterday. I'm sorry, I have so many questions, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed! I want him to be happy. Many thanks.
