Hi everyone, I'm new here.
My friend got me a tortoise and neither of us have any clue what it needs to survive.
Some of these questions may sound really silly to most of you but I really need your help.
1) Its a tortoise right? Basically, I really don't understand the difference between a tortoise and a turtle. Help?
2) I believe its a Greek tortoise, can any one please validate that?
3) It's really tiny now, like an inch and a half by an inch, how big is it gonna grow?
4) I don't know if you can help with this, but is this a female or a male tortoise?
5) I read something about it hibernating, is that true? Like will it not move for days?
6) I'm providing it with lettuce and carrots, leaving her to eat them, and trying to feed her myself, BUT NOTHING HELPS, IT DOESN'T EAT. Is it possible she's hibernating?
7) Any tips for caring after her?
Thank you so much!
