Hello everyone! I just joined this forum just a few minutes ago and this is my first post. I just bought a Russian tortoise from someone near by a couple days ago and he seems to have a few concerning issues. First issue was that his beak and nails were severely overgrown, but I took care of that quickly. Second, when he walks he appears to drag his back legs or just barely use them, and when he eats they just spay out behind him. Third, he never seems to get full and eats ALOT, I know this issue all to well with my turtle who I swear would eat the entirety of a horse leg if I threw one at him, are they similar in the fact that they never stop eating even when there full? Those are the main issues for now, his shell appears healthy except for a chip in it, and he seems alright. I know for a fact he wasn't in the best of care with his last home, because he was simply a playtoy for the families kids for 6 years. What do you think I can do to make sure he's in good care? or am I overreacting on his issues?
Thanks everyone!
