Hi all, Adam here, newbie.
I was just wondering if I could get some opinions and advice.
I have a Horsefield tortoise boy around 1.5 - 2 years old who I got from a pet store.
However at the time I did not know that vivariums are not ideal and the shop owner convinced me that not only was it fine it was ideal. I have a 3ft x 2ft vivarium with Uv and heat. I am in the process of getting a tortoise table which I hear are slightly better until I move recently to a house I chose mainly for its awesome garden for him. However since I live in cold and rainly Engliand he may be indoors a bit.
Anyway my main questions are,
1. How much should I be feeding him daily. This forum has great advice on what to feed (while I wait for my tortoise seeds to grow). But I am unsure how much to feed him.
2. Im posting a few photos and was wondering if anyone thought he doesn't look healthy? He's very active and always ready to eat. But i'm worried about his shell.
Sorry for replying to myself, i'm having trouble attaching photos.
