He’s scratching in his big blue thing!
Haha! He originally had pieces of shirt and stuff...and I removed it!
Might take him sometime to get use to digging himself into the substrate!!

he prefers blankets or towels ??

That’s where he was in when I got him!!

If you are actually doing what you say you are...then I'm proud of you. It looks like you are trying very hard to set this tortoise up correctly. So keep up the good work!
Yep I bought more coconut fiber! They even have the loose one as well and the Mulch!
but I may get it at Home Depot since the mulch is cheaper!
But I think it doesn’t come to stock till next month! Is the coconut fiber enough??

He's well named! Tortoise version of grumpy cat. It wasn't until I got a tortoise I noticed their faces all have a different expression. My boy has a lovely serene look, we stare at each other and he does this slow blink and then comes right up close to my face and breathes on me. Only tortoise fans would appreciate that sensation!

Something similar happened to me yesterday at a exotic place with a water turtle! He kept swimming towards me and kept looking at me ??

None stopped...I would tease him through the glass and I think “I looked delicious to him” because he kept trying to bite the glass ??

The eye problem can be due to the type of light you are using. Please tell us about the light, the type and when is it on - meaning for how long at a time?

It is not a philips light recommended by @Tom!

It’s a similar one I found at batteries and bulbs place!

His light goes off at 9pm and turns on 9am!

There’s an image in my first forum! Let me see if I can find it!!

Using it!

I was advised it was a GO!
