My sister & I adopted a red-footed tortoise from petco yesterday. His owners had returned him so he was only $50. His name is Davey Crockett & he is about 4in long. He is doing pretty good(I think)! He lets us pet his head/neck, etc. He is eating well. He has had some clover, and a couple pieces of banana & strawberry, & a tiny piece of apple. He is our first tortoise & we hope he does really well. My sis wants to have her own daycare someday & Davey will prob have his own indoor/outdoor pen there so the kids can watch him.
Anyway, I have a few questions;
~How old would he probably be?
~How much should he way?
~Is it normal for them to breathe heavy?
~How fast will he grow?
~How much of the year would he be able to live outside (we are in NE Missouri)?
Thanks for help!
