I was given a tortoise who was found wondering on a main blvd. in our city. The tortoise is now living in my backyard.Can you tell me what type tortoise it is?I have been feeding it some carrot shavings, and kale. I have Bermuda grass in the yard. One day when we had a thunderstorm (not usual for our region) the tortoise was all over the yard getting into puddles and seemed to prefer being in the downpour. Need advice on care. It has dug a hole under a cement area that it has to climb up into because the area has lots of dirt below a slab of cement. For the last 4 or 5 days it seems to be sleeping most of the time. Day temps have been around mid 80's, night temps low 60's. I can look to where it's resting, by kneeling and looking up under the hole it's dug. It seems to be moving every so slightly, so I don't think it's dead. When I 1st got it, it would walk all over the yard, but lately it's been staying in its dwelling. I've had it about a month. So any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
