Hi! I'm Lisa (aka NeverNot), I live in Ontario Canada, and I am coming into possession of a 5 year old Red Footed Tortoise in a few days. I run a kitten rescue, but have zero reptile experience (no, there will be no mixing of cats and tortoises).
Right now the enclosure he is in is 3 by 2 feet, max. He can barely turn around in it. I know enough to know it isn't right. The owner is a friend going through life struggles, so I offered to take the animal to give it the care it deserves while they get their ducks in a row, so to speak.
I'm going to be spending all of my free time reading this forum. I must admit I have no idea where to start, although I'm sure there are threads to find that will help! I have space indoors and want to do it right.
Thanks
