caixin isnt exactly the best, you need a better enclosure than a tub. A tub isnt going to work. soil or forest floor is perfectly ok, you can just remove the waste.
not exactly natural in my opinion but its so large already so it cant really get much better, but still a very nice tortoise. The shell isnt too bad.

What is the enclosure? What do you feed it currently
well, my Radiated and Ploughshare tortoises never eat the poisonous plants even in their outdoor enclosure for example the Euphorbia. But they are wild animals so that may be why.
Ok, thanks. I was really confused and shocked by what I read.

I went to a few other sources and researched the biological behavior of this species specifically. What I concluded was that the Radiated tortoise keeps its urine in for a week or so because it 1. Cannot always find water 2...
I was reading on a few German websites that water should only be available once a week! And that they should be kept with very low humidity???

Both these websites...
What are the benefits of grazing. It seems like it takes much longer time for it to get full this way rather than just eating from the plate. Does it stimulate any natural behavior or help certain muscles?
Just wondering :p
thanks
