Go to the top of the page where it says forums and click there. Then scroll way down to where it says Mediterranean tortoises. Then click on Greek tortoise. And then have fun reading....

Because this is an Egyptian tortoise, I think you would be better off reading Egyptian tortoise care sheet:

Welcome to the Forum!

Egyptian tortoises are highly thought of here in the States.

thank you so much

SORRY! I'm sick with a flu bug. I meant Egyptian. I read Egyptian but wrote Greek! So sorry about the confusion.
