Hi,
My mom does wildlife rehabilitation so we get a lot of weird animals around my house. Our humane society recently received a tortoise with a slight cut on his neck and so they gave it to my mom. We want to make sure he is getting the right diet while we have him (and will probably end up keeping him), so I figured the right place to start with that would be to identify the species. I've done some googling but it is really hard for me (a total tortoise novice) so I figured I'd come here for help. I have two guinea pigs and have learned so much from the forum for them.
He has really long back legs, and is kind of oval instead of round. He also has a really funny/long beak and I was wondering if we needed to file it or if that was normal.
