Good Morning, I recently bought a Russian tortoise and am new to this forum. I have no past experience with tortoise care and have done quite a bit of research on the subject. My guy is about 4 inches and his name is Ernie. I've had him for 2 weeks and he is doing really good. He's happy in his enclosure and he's eating regularly. I bathe him a couple times a week and he poops everytime. I've noticed that he seems to rub his eyes with his front legs when he gets up in the morning and some times he will do it again during the day. His eyes are clear and don't seem to be wet or draining. When he blinks, you can barely see a tiny bit of moisture on the bottom of his eye. My question is, Is this all normal?
