Hello,
This is Mochi. He is a Russian tortoise and 11 months old. 145g as of today. I have had him since he was a hatchling. What do you think of his shell? Am I doing okay? Is he looking good?
He has a humidifier I have on each day. Lives in an indoor 5X5 enclosure (currently working on a bigger one). Lighting and humidity levels have been in the perfect ranges and never changed. He has had a humidity box as well while growing up.
Food wise he eats a shell size portion every morning after a soak. He has a multivitamin powder once a month. Calcium with D3 twice a week. Greens always get changed up. I don't feed him anything not approved by the tortoise table or the forums I read on here. I also have a flower food topper I add to the greens time to time. Never any fruits.
He wakes up by 9 or 10am but waits for me to pick him up for bath time. After his bath he eats and then stays active, moving around, and climbing over things till his afternoon nap. Then he likes to bask under his hottest side for an hour or two. He finally goes to bed the rest of the day by 4 or 5pm.

. Focus on smooth shell growth this is achieved with humidity, good diet and soaks.
