Aw how old?I have a horse field and a golden greek.
Ah so the same age as the one we are getting. Do you keep it outside? Also any tips for care and favourite foods. That’s so cute you’ve had it from a hatchling are you looking to expand your tortoise collection.My russian is about 6 and my golden is only a year, I raised him as a hatchling.
Ah thank you so much! Those tortoises are huge and look so beautiful would definitely be amazing to have one.We are looking into getting an aldabra in a few years. I have an outdoor enclosure that I put her in in the day. At night I have an indoor enclosure. She loves petunias, pansies, plantain, clover, mallow, henbit, hosta, endive, escarole, chia, forsythia.
That and a sulcata would be so cool to own. I hope you manage to get one and live out your childhood dream ahah!They do cost a lot, I have the space for sure though. The amount of food that they eat is huge. I’ve wanted one since I was a little girl, they are majestic gental giants.
