My Russian tortoise, Frankie, has some indentations on the top of his shell that I don't know if I should be worried about. He also has a discoloration on some parts of the bottom of his shell.
Frankie's previous owner purchased him at a pet store and fed him nothing but iceberg lettuce the entire year she had him. Since I have had him I have tried to feed him more nutritious greens, many of which he should love like other tortoises, but he only likes to eat romaine lettuce. He will eat this zoo med land tortoise dry mix I have when i turn it into a mash for him, but other than that he is a picky eater,.
I will post some pictures of the little guy. Any and all feedback from other experience tort parents is appreciated.
