I got Frodo about a year ago. I "stole" him from my uncle because he really can't treat animals well. (He was living in a 20cm x 30cm cardboard box filled with red catsand and no water...) I've been guessing he is a hermans until now, I'll add a picture.
He has a little bad case of pyramiding, but I have gotten him all the calium and vitamins he needs and a heatlamp and an UVB lamp in a large rabbit cage. I'm planning on building a bigger enclosure for him, but since this was an emergency I did what i could in short time with little money.
I managed to help him with his overgrown beak too, giving him cuttlebone, it was good after just a couple of months.
With better diet and good nursing he seems like he is happy and healthy now!
Anyhow, this is my first tortoise and I would really appriciate all the help and tips I can get.
(I'm new to forums too, so I didn't know where to post this and if the pictures will show, but I hope this is ok )
