Thanks for the help. He seems a lot happier now he has been a lot more active than I thought he would be. Now I don't feel so silly for buying such a big enclosure for such a tiny tortoise. Iv taken what you have said on board. Iv looked into good and bad foods for tortoises a bit further and...

I have bought my first tortoise today he is 3 months old I have bought him/her all the gear but really I have no idea. He's been moved in 3 hours now he is enjoying his roam around but I haven't seen him eat. I have put some soothing classical music on and I think he likes this. I have given him...
