Hi. I inherited my Gopher Tortoise back in January. My uncle has had her since 1968. He passed away in December. He lived in New York. I live in Huntington Beach, California.
She hadn't been outside in many, many, many years. She only ate carrots.
I am happy to say she eats everything she's supposed to be eating. She also lives outside now.
She has dug a huge hole under the cement and she loves it. She doesn't want to come in the house for anything.
Now my question is, I know they don't hibernate like most desert tortoises do, but what should I do.
I do have a tortoise box that i kept her in when I got her.
I'm not sure if you crate them like you do a California desert tortoise.
Thanks in advance.
