What to know before getting a tortoise?
Hey, I’m thinking of getting a tortoise. I’m a little low on tort knowledge and was wondering if some of you guys could give me some advice. Anything and everything would be helpful. Thanks.
I found this at wikipedia.com:
Tortoises as pets:
Many tortoises, (for example, the red-footed), have specific temperature, roaming space, light, air moisture, and diet requirements. They are difficult to captive breed, so many are wild caught. Tortoises need outdoor space to roam. It is not possible to house-train a tortoise.
just bought 1, 2 days ago. Been researchin like crazy. heregoes- russians (which i have) are best for beginners. 65degrees to @ 71 with a day time heat lamp to sun. Eats dandelion greens, clover, almost all produce greens. needs a sink size dirt pile to burrow. have to wash hands b4 and after handlin to a void salmonella, long, long commitment. pen in backyard all year ‘cept winter is ideal.
