Hello my name is Rebecca and I live in the uk. I have just bought a horse field tortoise and has been told she is female and is roughly 3 years old. I am just looking for more information about them as I have looked up different foods for her and every website says the total opposite of the other and I'm getting really confused. I just want the best for her and to make sure she is happy and healthy. Hear is a pic, her name is tank girl!

Hello and Welcome. A. Ore natural substrate of dirt or coconut coir would be better for her. They like to bury themselves. Also some humidity of 30% Broad leafy greens/weeds for food.

Thanks I am currently trying to get a different substrate for her as I've only had her 2 days. It's going to be my first time bathing her tonight aswell so does anyone have any tips for that please. Thanks
