Hello, I just got my yet-to-be-named redfoot tortoise and he is the silliest thing I've ever been awe-struck by. He's only about a year old, so says the guy who sold him to me, and is pretty inactive in his temporary 20 gallon until I take him out and let him run around. He spins in a circle, looks all around him, and then takes off toward a shadowy place. I know he needs time to adjust to his new space and that going for a hide is normal. The bedroom is fairly clean and I leave a blanket on the ground for him to run around on. But I can't leave him run around in there because it's not exactly safe...eventually we will build a turtle table, but until we do how long should I leave him out to exercise? I can section off a corner of the room and let him roam while I do homework or yoga...but approximately how long did or do all of you let your little guys exercise for...if so?
