Hiya, I hope you can all give me some advice
I live in Morocco and while I was recently on holiday back in the UK my neighbours moved out and the landlord completely blitzed their garden, stripping it of all grass and bushes....when I returned I was surprised to see two tortoises over there. I threw some food over the wall, but one tortoise didn't move, and was in fact dead, but the other one was alive, and the caretaker 'liberated' it, and so I am now the proud owner of a little tortoise. I will try and put up a picture.
Now, thing is, I know absolutely nothing at all about tortoises and theres so much conflicting information out there on the internet.
I don't even know what sort of tortoise she is, but shes stolen my heart already. Of course, she might well be a he for all I know.
She seems quite happy wandering around my garden (it is gravelled but with lots of plants and has a little wall) and has been happily munching the honeysuckle and hibiscus leaves, I've also given her lettuce and I read they like grass, dandelions and pansies, so I've planted some of those. I've put down water in a terracotta saucer and shes had a drink.
Can anyone identify her for me so I can read up? And advice? I really know nothing and want to do my best for her.
