Hello all,
I am a newbie. I am inheriting a tortoise in a few weeks. I have been preparing for him over the last 3 months (getting enclosure, making sure the garden is secure etc). Now I have a greenhouse, I am going to try to grow him some food.
I have ordered a seed packet with these in:
Is this enough of a varied diet? Is there anything else I should add?
We believe he is a Greek Tortoise. I will be taking pictures for this group once he arrives. He is at least 47 years old. His diet has mostly been lettuce and dandelions - and peas (which I've found out they're not meant to have?)
I want to do everything right by him and get into good habits from the get go! Thank you in advance for your advice and tips!
