Meet Tickle? A friend gifted him to me not knowing what kind he was and since I found out I’ve gone down the tortoise hole and researched a crazy ton the last 2 weeks. This forum has helped me out so much, I thank you all! We are currently in an apartment but will be moving into a house with atleast a couple acres in a year or so and I have so many plans for little tickle. I was so stressed out after finding out what kind of tortoise he was and the best way to take care Of it being so young but this forum Helped calm my nerves and build my confidence in caring for him. I’m happy to be a new tortoise mom and I will update and have many questions. Right now I have him on a spring mix and cactus diet seeing that’s the only thing his breeder fed his new hatchlings. I just started mixing zoo-med natural grassland tortoise food in with it to kind of taper him off just cactus and spring mix and he eats like a champ. Eating good, going potty normally. He’s soaked twice a day and I take him outside for an hour or two daily. Inside he has a comfy enclosure. I’ve ordered a hydrometer and thermometer for inside but for the most part I feel like he’s happy and I’m doing well. Pictures included. I would appreciate any and all criticism, advice and tips! Thanks fam ????
