Hi everyone,
My names Sam, I live in england.
Roughly a month ago my mum came across a tortoise at the side of the road being attacked by a fox, luckily, she managed to shoo the fox away before he did any damage, picked him up and popped him in the car.
We have done all the checks, taken him to the vets, he's not micro chipped, and no one has reported him missing as far as we are aware, so we've managed to keep hold of him
Which my mum is very happy about seeing as she owned one when she was growing up.
However, we haven't got a clue what species he is, or even how old he might be. We have been feeding him cucumber and giving him plenty of water (even though he just kicks it over lol) and have put him in an inch deep bowl of tepid water several times. But ovbiously, as we don't know his species, we don't know what the best diet is.
I will attach a picture and hopefully someone who knows abit more than me can help!
