hey guys, i'm completely new to tortoise keeping and i just got a baby calfornian desert tortoise (just under 2 inches in shell diameter). it's been living in a glass enclosure for the past 3 days and i've noticed that it constantly tries to walk into or climb up the glass walls. i think this might be a space issue (the tank is 10in x 20in). so i'm thinking of building my first tortoise table. i'm going to be placing this indoors because there are cats that live around the neighborhood and i'm scared they'll break in to any countermeasures i build in.
my main questions are:
1. how large should i make it?
2. will the UVB lamp provide enough light to grow plants?
3. will the heat lamp make it too hot to grow the plants?
4. what seeds should i buy? ie. what plants are good to grow and be a healthy source of food for the tortoise?
