New tort mommy!

[Jenley]

My husband surprised us with a baby sulcata tortoise yesterday...I'm not sure how old he(she? just for the sake of it being easier I will refer to it as a he)is. He isn't very big..his shell is maybe 3-4 inches. We decided to name him Crush after the sea turtle on Finding Nemo. (I know, not original and he isn't a turtle but I have little kids that wanted to name him so there ya go!) I have been reading pretty much everything I can so far...I'm slightly overwhelmed at the moment. Any tips and advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!
