Tyrell
New Member
Well it seems I'm now charged with the care of a tortice, (Tyrell) and he has not been well cared for. I won't bother with a backstory, but suffice to say that Tyrell and I are now a thing, I can't get rid of him and he can't get rid of me.
I have no earthly idea of how to care for a tortoise, but I must care for him. He lives outside in a pen in Los Angeles and eats mostly spring mix. Truth be told he has had a rough go of it for that last 6 years or so and I'm determined to make his lot in life better... but where to start? Right now I just need to get him the basics but in due time I'll make time to get him fully tricked out. I need to know what he needs right now, like today, poor little dude needs my help but I dont know what I can do for him.
I've included a few pics so perhaps you good folks can tell from a glance his biggest challenges in the short term, his shell seems a bit jacked up in the back.
