In the past, I tried to help a friend's little sister in caring for her tortoise. Apparently she isn't taking care of the poor thing well enough, and doesn't even want it anymore (can I just take a moment to say, UGH WTF??? - why even bother???).
I want to learn about this species of tortoise, as I have my own leopard to take care of right now and this seems to be a tortoise on the opposite side of the spectrum of care. I just want to know if I'll be able to care for this tortoise, or if I'll have to find a better home for it other than myself if I'm not able to provide the correct care.
I have asked for an update on how the tortoise is doing, why they are looking to give him to me, and what they've been doing for care. I will update on that information when available. (Last I spoke with them, he had something wrong with his eyes, and honestly didn't sound good... Product of bad care unfortunately.)
Links to care sheets for this species, or even just general advice/information is SO MUCH appreciated. I really want to get this little one healthy and happy FAST!!!
