Hi everyone. I know that all the information I'm about to ask would be here so I apologise for not searching and starting a new post but I need to be quick 😅
Basically I picked up a 5 year old red footed tortoise, from someone i know, who In the best words hasn't been taking care of "him" probably and knows nothing about taking care of him. Amd he would have been left that way, if I didn't take him with me today....
Anyway I need everything. Starting from complete scratch. Need to know everything and anything. To one give him his best life and two help build him back up.
His current viv is getting to small, and was so cramped with stuff he couldn't turn around and everything was constantly scratching his shell.
He has only ever been fed on pellets (no calucim power or anything) and from what I have read his temp and humidity have been kept to low this whole time. He was kept at between 20-25 degrees and humidity topping 40
So please spam me

To edit, any problems I should be on the look out for? Or need to do something extra to solve?
His bedding had never been changed, he's lights only ever went on a few times a week. Never been bathed or given any calcium. As stated heat and humidity have always been way to low Unsure or any other care issues. (Know how to solve all the above, just need want to know of any issues that may have come from it, or if I need to do anything extra to get him to where he needs to be)
