Thanks! I already feel relieved and supported! What a great group of people :)

WOW, THANK YOU! I'm realizing how out of his natural habitat he is and this is really great!

Thank you! Maybe you can give some advice on the roaming, I've taken protective measures with the fire hazards... Everything I read is that tortoises need space. Because of our location etc. he has to be inside. I was planning on allowing him to roam just the kitchen and tv area, only about 600...

Thanks again, I'm realizing that either he is still intimidated or he is used to them. In our situation I hope it's the latter because the animals in the house all get along: hedgehog, 3 cats, Rhodesian Ridge Back, snake and ducks. We are a big happy family! PS It's very duplicitous that I...

Thanks Jimb! Is your tortoise a baby? They grow so so fast...
