Hello! I'm new to tortoise care. Just got one from a guy who had been keeping him in a 12" x 24" enclosure and feeding nothing but romaine lettuce for 5 years... He seems healthy enough despite the circumstances but I'm curious how a person would go about expanding his diet after so long. I've included red and green leaf lettuce with success but he won't touch premade tortoise food. He's also never been given a water bowl doesn't seem to like drinking water straight. They did tell me they soaked him every week or so but he really seems to hate that. I've just got him the Tortoise House to give him more space. He's also had no heat at night. Is that healthy?
