Hey guys!

I know I've been posting a lot on here lately, but I was wondering: would a tortoise, specifically a RFT, have any objects it would like to play with, such as a cuttle bone or anything to keep him from getting bored? Thank you!

(I must admit that your avatar is slightly disturbing! :D )

Some tortoises make use of "things" in their habitat and some just ignore them. No harm, no foul. Give it a try. Colorful balls to push around, maybe a little turtle statue. Use your imagination.

I like to make dirt mounds for them to climb over and mow down. I will put big flat rocks for climbing onto and larger rocks for digging under. Hope that was helpful.

Try edible plants. They always keep my RT busy when he's bored. Cuttle bones are great and are healthy too, so that would be nice. Just make any balls or toys you put are safe to ingest, or are big enough that he can;t eat them:)

I have a plastic giraffe that I move around to different parts of the enclosure and the torts like to go knock it down all the time no matter what I do to try to prevent them from knocking it down lol.
