Hey everyone! I am new here and new to tortoises...I did a lot of reading and research before picking up this baby.
She was just over 1 week old when I picked her up and eating only romaine lettuce, no bulbs, no water bowl etc. Raised very dry on sand.
I now have her in a humid enclosure with soil, she has a water bowl she regularly climbs into.
She has heat lamps and UVB bulb.
Her diet is chopped up grass with a small bit of romaine...she wont eat hay on its own yet. In her enclosure I rotate wandering jew, a spider plant and boston fern...she does munch on these.
I occaisonally add a small piece of aloe plant to her meals.
Once a week I add a reptile multi vitamins and she has free access to a cuttlebone.
She is soaked at least once a day. If she is soaked 1x it's a 30min soak. If its 2x a day it's a 20min soak each time. I also mist 2x a day.
How is her shell and growth coming along?
