Hey,
I have a very Young 6 week old Russian Horsefield Tortoise.
All in all he is looking great and eating well (albeit he is eating more of the little pellet food then fresh. I didn't want to but he wasn't taking to the fresh food at first, so I added some pellets)
Anyways, he is making his way around his enclosure ok, I just wonder how long it take for their legs to become a bit stronger? I don't handle him much at the moment but when I do his legs feel very fragile and weak. I guess normal for such a Young Tortoise.
Also, any tips on making his favour fresh food or even the dried plant variation over the pellets.
Thanks
