Tortoise Care
Caring for a tortoise involves providing a suitable habitat that mimics its natural environment. This includes a spacious enclosure with both sunny and shaded areas, as well as access to clean water for drinking and soaking. A proper diet is essential, consisting mainly of leafy greens, vegetables, and occasional fruits, depending on the species.
Regular health check-ups are important to monitor for signs of illness. Tortoises also need a consistent temperature range, with a basking area that reaches around 90°F and cooler areas for thermoregulation. Avoid handling them too often, as stress can negatively impact their well-being.
