Help Needed...........I've just taken in an abandoned desert tortoise, she's beautiful, friendly and quite active, definitely a climber! As far as I know she's lived on grass in the back yard of a house which was vacated about 2 1/2 months ago. She's been with me 2 days now and has eaten some romaine lettuce and a little banana. I'm a little concerned in that she hasn't seemed to drink any water.
I know very little about keeping a tortoise so this is a learning process for her and me! I've been reading up all weekend about this species, but now feel totally confused even in regards to what to feed her as the various websites say different things about food and habitats so I would really appreciate help from anyone who has a desert tortoise. I'd like to build her a home outside for the summer months.
