Scottish Tort!

[shelleyS]

Hello, I'm shell, and yesterday we brought home our very first tortoise - a beautiful baby horse field who is about 1! We have named him A'tuin and Iv managed to fall head over heels in love in the space of 24 hours! We live in Scotland so he will be living inside with us in a nice tortoise table with trips to the garden when the sun comes out! Any newbie tips and advice very welcome
