Hello Everyone!
This Christmas I received a Russian Box Tortoise. So far everything has been quite interesting. She has adjusted quite nicely and is roaming the house like it is her own.
I do have some questions about the amount of food to give her. I usually give her a decent size plate of lettuce (not iceberg), a few cut up baby carrots, green peppers, and a little cilantro twice a day. Is this too much?? She eats it all, so that's why I'm a little concerned if it is too much or not enough.
Also, how much is normal for a tortoise to poop/pee? She's going once a day.
Thanks for all of your help and suggestions in advance. Hope everyone has a happy New Years!!
Robert
