Oscar has been gracefully welcomed into my home a little over two weeks ago. He (or she. But I'd like to think Oscar is a boy for now haha) is a year old this month.

He became very active, and likes to be around me very much.

As of this post, I am starting to graze him in my yard, and he seems to be LOVING it.

I have planted some prickly pear cactus and a few different grass and flower types in my side yard for him to munch on in the coming months, while building a little play pen for him as well with the plants inside the pen.

Hello! [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] nice little fella you got there.


What kind of setup do you have for Mr. Oscar?

I apologize for the belated response, but I had built a tortoise table for him, with a hinged top on the way. He's much more active now that he has it (some of my wood was warped and couldn't be used while I had to replace it, so he was in a makeshift box for a few days. ) and is enjoying it very much.

I have been told that! I'm excited for it to grow so he'll have some to munch on!
