So I bought my Russian Tortoise a little over a month ago. I am really worried about him. I bought him from a pet store and I bought a fish-tank style home as well. After some research I found out this wasn't good because of the transparency. I put up some paper with a daisy print on it. Is that good enough, or should I build him a new encloser? I live in Florida so I am worried about building him a home outside because of the heat and rain. Also I know racoons live around here so I don't know if it safe.
Also I am a bit confused on what to feed him because the pet store workers said he liked romaine lettuce and other greens, but he isn't eating and I am super worried that he might be sick. I tried doing research on why he isn't eating, some sites said its because he is too hot. Others said he is too cold.
What type of vitamins and supplements should I give him?
Is alfalfa hay bad? Some owners said the tortoises like it, others say that it is bad for them. I am just really confused.
