Hi,
Apologize for the first question if it's silly but as I've just gotten a tortoise as a present (and i know nothing about them), i wanted to know for sure what type have i got.
Just to be able to look for information on the web on how to care for them etc.
I was told by some friends that it could be an Egyptian tortoise so i posted here
So...is it?
The main question would be..
I got the biggest box i could find and put it in there with some lettuce which came with it and a small bowl of water..just till i get something together to put it in.
What worries me is that it keeps trying to climb outside the box (or seems so at least from my point of view) either that or it's just sitting there inside it's shell...is it not liking the box or am i missing something? Box was my printer's box (about 80 cm x 80 cm - turtle about 7 cm in length),
Thank you
