Hi all! I am new to the page because I have adopted this amazing Russian Tortoise "Lucy" from a friend who is moving. I have cared for this tortoise when they are out of town for the past 20 or so years so I am very used to it's usual care routine. We've become pals too over the years and I want to give her the best life possible with me. They are giving me a new glass enclosure but I thought about changing it or blacking out the bottom half. I can't have her outdoors overnight due to predators. That being said, before she actually gets to my place, I have a couple of questions that I can't find through Google searches. I am hoping that this community can help me out. TIA Im sure I'll have more questions as time goes on. Lol
1. She is on a diet that mainly consists of romaine lettuce and occasionally mixed frozen veg. I want to add to her diet but will it adversely affect her if i change it up? Should I just introduce new foods little by little?
2. Do you recommend that I keep the topsoil substrate or change it?
Thanks a bunch.
