I’ve just inherited a male Horsefield tort of 10 years, a few days ago. He has come in a vivarium type setup, but I am keener to build him a tortoise table as this seems more appropriate? He seems very happy and keen to come out the enclosure and explore (under full supervision!) and we are all surprised by how active he is. He hasn’t eaten anything as far as I can tell, but has access to drinking water (also let him have brief soak in water, which he chose to do himself also). The food he came with was pro rep tortoise food, but it seems so hard and dry, she it be moistened and how much do they eat? Also at night I’m turning the heat lamp do to around 20’c as read in other forums. He comes over to us and is quite friendly, so hopefully he’s happy here! Any advice greatly appreciated
