Hi, My name's Cam! I have a Russian Red Foot tortoise, I've had him for about 4 months now. I've been fascinated with turtles and tortoises my entire life, and I was so excited when I had enough money to get him and supplies.
His name is Sheldon but me and my family just call him Nugget. I live in SE Michigan, so I can only take him out during he spring and summer months, so I take advantage of the situation greatly. I take him outside, and he fills himself up on dandelions and grass, and when I can't, I'll give him spring mix or sometimes strawberries and raspberries, as well as dried veggies and crickets and stuff that come in this bag.
I had him in a glass enclosure, but realized he wasn't happy in it, so I built him a enclosure out of wood. He loves it!
I also have a question. When he's not under his heat lamp or wandering, he sleeps in a corner. I have a hide in there, but he won't sleep in it. Is this normal?
Anyways, thanks for reading this and helping me out.
Regards,
Cam
