Hi. I’m adopting a tortoise from an elderly couple who cannot care for him anymore. They have had him at least 5 years and, by the sound of it, he was an adult when they got him. They say he is a Moroccan as they acquired him from their son who bought 2 at street market while stationed in Morocco. One since died.
I know this is a sensitive species and from what I understand, he is being kept in less than idea conditions. However, he is taken to the vet regularly. What is the recommended substrate? I was going with sand/soil 1:1. Enclosure indoor to be approx 8x4. Is additional tortoise recommended?
Any advice is appreciated
