Hello, Melissa, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and Scooter. (and your family)
Have you seen http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/beginner-mistakes.45180/ ?
And what's your enclosure like ?
Do you need any help or advice with your set up?
Always glad to help here.
Still working on the enclosure for outside i know the wood might look tacky but had to make sure he won't be able to get out had to put the wood deep in the ground. The house will be covered and lighting for when ever it gets cold. Any other ideals you guys my have are more than welcome..
