Hello. everybody. I'm brand new here! nice to meet you all. My name is Glen and I'm from the UK (south). I have very recently acquired a Tortoise. His/her name is "Sprout". I'm sorry to come in with a massive question but I want the best for sprout. Could anyone please tell me what species he is? I have done many hours of research and have come up with nothing!! I am even more keen to know as I am new to keeping Tortoises and an id will greatly assist me finding the specific details for his care. At the moment I keep him in a box at night indoors and allow him to roam free in the day. I try to let him get as much sun as he wants and supply with plenty of water and food. However he has not eaten since I have had him (2 days) . Is there a special Tortoise heat lamp anybody could recommend? I have given him warm soaks each day and he has been drinking. I have been feeding: cucumber, lettuce, grape, grapefruit, dandelion, assorted weeds and clover.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
