You can also plant seeds of grass and then when it grows you can cut it up and sprinkle over the greens.

Ok I just night him a pack of stuff from the website...
I should be getting it Tuesday or Wednesday! That should cover his fiber intake for now!!
I removed the green hide!!!
I bought him a different hide from Petsmart “screw it” I rather spend the extra bucks and get him something better than having to “play a game of finding Waldo” over and over!

I would love to do that but right now I don’t have the resources or the time and money for this stuff right now! So I did what I had to do! I got a combination of cactus leaf, mash mallow, nettle leaf and Ross flower coming!!

Unfortunately I live in a town home! There no yard!!
But I have a front yard that can Potentially grow some plays for him in pots! It has a good spot where it can be in the sun and shade!

I have those!!
Lord have mercy...didn’t expect so much from getting a tortoise...I can’t spend anymore at this time till I get paid!
So I’ll be giving him a little bit of this in his food if it’s suggested!
Though someone suggested to wait till they were bigger!!
Lord help me!!

I give these to my baby 1-2 times a week - I moisten it until it becomes soft and mix it with the greens/veggies.I have those!!

Perfect! Next week I’ll start giving him some...at least one or two pellets cause he’s little!

Soak those pellets and mix in with his greens. I only give about two of them a day mixed in to get mine to eat more grass. Good job on the new hide and ordering new food! Don’t forget daily soaks!!

Also, if I consider on getting a bigger tub, any recommendations on sizes...brand is welcome! I found a big one at Home Depot but then I was also suggested to use a bookshelf and turn it over on its back and bara bing bara bomb we have an enclosure! 
If I have to put him in a spare room to have his own...
You beat I’ll do it lol!

Well you need to cover it with something to keep heat and humidity inside. Use that for now while you figure out his next one. Open tops don’t work well. I’m sure you read Tom’s caresheet?
Crystallynda

Yes I have! Someone suggested to get a plastic covering to help keep his humidity and heat..so that’s my next task!
What he has now will do till I can figure out that and cost because of imma get some wood to put around to hold his lights and then out the plastic over...well...I need time and of course money..so I’m keeping my bedroom at 78-80 degrees on purpose so at night he’s not as cold!

I don’t no! There’s been so much needed to purchase...I ran out of money...so that’s also on the list!
My mom might be able to assist if I get it through Amazon!!
