A cute tort, though he's pyramided. Please give him daily soaks in warm water to stop the pyramiding where it is.
ThanksHi Lee, and welcome to the Forum! Lucky is a very pretty little Russian tortoise. Captive bred, right?

Read the "Beginners Mistakes" Thread, and ask any question when you need help.
And a very warm welcome to the forum!

ThanksI don't see any other thread made by you except this one. What in particular are you asking about?
Oh, and by the way, here's the link to the beginner mistakes thread Gillian referred you to:

Well she don't seem to be eating much I've only seen her eating one small leaf of lettuce todayThanks
OK thanks as we were told to keep the temp at 80 maxIt makes a world of difference in their eating habits when they're set up properly. They need a UVB light and they need to be in their own habitat where they are kept warm enough. If a tortoise isn't warm enough (at least 80-85F degrees) they won't eat.
Torts also need time to adapt to change, which they do not like.Well she don't seem to be eating much I've only seen her eating one small leaf of lettuce today

Interesting. I didn't know that a screen would interfere with UV absorption, but that definitely comes as no surprise to me.UVB does not pass through glass or perspex(plexiglass) - light must be direct to be effective not through a window. Mesh screening can also interfere with UVB.
