hi, some of you might have read my threads before, i've been waiting for my tortoise to arrive from a friends gran and been asking all the questions but never knew which sort she is but now i do ...... shes a horsefield! well i think so she only has 4 claws on each foot??
Anyway she arrived last night and i put her straight to bed where she stayed untill about 9am this morning, then she came out and has been pottering around the garden. We live in devon uk and weather is lovely at mo so shes lovin it!
shes about 50 years old and has been bought up on a really bad diet of dog food, corned beef, salad and veg!! This morning i've cut her up some salad and been out and collected some other recommended weeds for her but she doesn't seem that interested which is fine coz its only her 1st day i suppose?
but, can anyone give me any advice should i give her a bath? any particular foods she will really like? should i cut out the meat immediatly or ween her off it?
also advice on hibernation?
oh and ive just weighed and measured her she is 2.5 kg and 24 cm.
cheers guys
