Good morning everybody,
I am fairly new to tortoiseforum. I only posted one time when Elmo was sick and I was looking for answeres. Since then I took Elmo to the Vet about 5 weeks ago, which helped him, but was a very unpleasant visit. The vet was the only one here in my area (Florida) that was willing to take a look at Elmo and did not even know what kind of tortoise Elmo is. But he is doing much better and today I am writing because we got him a new home for the inside. It is a huge cage with a big plastic pen (3 f by 4 f). I put everything in what I learned, is good for him. He is more active then he ever was, but he always wants to climb up the side panels, and that makes us feel bad because we don’t know if he does not like his bigger home or is that what tortoise always do? In the future we are planning a bigger home but for now he is still a youngster. I would appreciate any help because I want Elmo to be happy.
