About a week ago I adopted a russian tortoise off craigslist when we got home I realized he just dragged his black legs behind so I did some research and realized the wood chips his previous owners had him in were not good so I changed it to 50/50 mix of coir and sand like substrate. I've now seen him use his back legs once each. He also was only being fed iceberg lettuce and carrots? I've switched that to spring mix and baby spinach because that's the food I had off hand for my mali uromastyx. He is has also eaten cucumbers out of mine and my fiances hands. And when i got him he had a cob web on him so he obviously wasnt taking baths, that too ive changed and he loves the baths. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? And is his shell OK the spacing between platelets is kinda big. They told me he was about 4 or 5 years old.I just wanna help my little buddy out any suggestions?
