Hi,
I have bought an 12 week old horsefield and he is my first tortoise. I got the set up with him from the pet shop and i asked them to tell me everything i need to know as a beginner. They talked me into buying things such as a heat mat and wood chip substrate which i have since read is bad for them. They have told me a lot of information that i now believe to be true and i want to be a good owner so i have come to here for help.
At the minute he is in a 3ft vivarium and i would like to know what substrate i should get him and where i can buy his proper food a they didnt think to tell me this.
P.s. Any additional information you think i may need would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
