Hello! I recently purchased this testudo tortoise from pet smart! No information on the age, sex, or specific species, besides testudo genus. I’m a new tortoise owner and was wondering if anyone was able to tell what exact species of testudo tortoise this is? I also wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly to feed? I bought the recommended pellets, but was reading that should only be 25% or less of my tortoises diet. He hasn’t eaten any food since he’s arrived in his new home, but I’m assuming it’s because he’s been here less than 24 hours and is still getting used to it all. But on that note, what greens should I/can I be feeding him? Is store bought greens okay? Plants/greens/weeds/flowers from outside? Being very cautious with his diet as I want to make sure he’s getting enough but not eating anything bad for him.
Last question, I noticed within just a few hours of getting him, his one eye had some bubbles around them (kind of looked like spit but obviously wasn’t). He seemed to just rub them off, no big deal, but I noticed they appeared again and again. It doesn’t look like anything too concerning, nor does it seem to be bothering him much, but haven’t done any research and was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me what that might be/be from therefore if it’s anything to be concerned about. Thank you all so much!
