I've had him for around 3 years now. He has always lived here inside the courtyard. I do occasionally take him out to our front garden to walk around there and explore but it requires me to supervise him the whole time so he doesn't wander off :( So I can't do it often. He also doesn't dig in...

Usually only from 11am till about 2pm there is very little shade but even during those times there are still shade areas. The bushy area is never directly in the sun so he can cool off there and also by the water foundation (bottom left corner in panorama picture). He has a little shallow small...

I am obsessed with keeping my tortoise happy. He deserves the best. I let him roam around freely in this area shown in the images. He sleeps in the right corner mostly (by the spade). If you look closely you can see some bamboo pieces that he crawls under. There's a lot of hiding spots (see...

Hi guys. Sorry for the delayed reply. I ended up giving the baby away immediately to someone who really wanted it and had the ideal garden to house a tortoise with no other animal threats. It was best for my boy and the baby. Attached is a photo of the baby and then my boy

This morning I found a baby tortoise in my front garden. It's quite small but definitely a few months old already. Now I currently have a male tortoise who is around 3-4 years old. He has been with me for several years staying in our courtyard garden (it's very spacious, lots of grass and...

Yeah sometimes I feel that way... I pick my little guy up, hold him close to my face and then talk to him, then he brings his face out too and just stares into my eyes while I talk. Sometimes he'll start going back in slowly but as soon as I start speaking again he comes back out :') It's so...
