Soon i will be getting a baby cherry head tortoise and i need a little advise. How much fruit should i feed him? And what are the best hardy plants for a enclosure? I currently have a small hibiscus to put in there and a aloe vera plant.

Cherries and other Redfoot can eat a diet of up to 60% fruit.
Babies should est less. I'd say limit it to no more than 20%.
Also, is your new enclosure going to be outside or inside?

Inside. Although I do have a outside enclosure I will put the CH out there when weather permits. I just gotta fix it up and move it where I would like it. It is pretty big.
