Hi guys!
I have just been given a two year old spur thighed tortoise and the last owner has said that it is best that he isnt kept in a vavarium (which I have brought for him with a uv light and spot included) and that he should be kept in a cardboard box at night wrapped in a blanket and kept outside in the day. Im confused as I thought tortoises that were young needed sunlight a lot and artifical light?
Also do tortoises need water constantly near them?
