hi,
My baby horsfeild tortoise ,Winston, I only bought recently the first 2 days he didn't eat as much but he started eating more slowly but I'm not sure how to feed him in a day I don't want to over or under feed him I want to feed him the right amount I have been giving him dandelions and weed from the careen and the occasional stash of lettuce he also has a cuttlebone disc to keep his beak healthy it aslo has calaium for him and through the day I let him go outside to wonder if it's hot and let him graze on grass for about an hour I make sure he always has a supply of water even though he doesn't drink it very often and I soak him every other day for about 10-20 mins and then gently scrub his shell with a soft toothbrush to get rid of dead shell cells. I will need and helpful tips I can get for being a new tortoise mummy
