someone gave me a tortoise 2- weeks ago, and she is very happy.
i feed her rose pedals, brocolli, (no lettuce) THAT IS BAD FOR THEM, and water, and she is happy, she follows me around, i couldnt believe it she comes up back stairs, not steep ones, walkes in house i living room restes a while, and goes outside, and she is not shy, and i think she is happy, and also if very attracted to dogs, always goes towards them
get a book on the kind of tortoise you have, keep her(OR HIM SAFE)

What kind of tortoise?? Mine LOVES to have about an hour grazing in the sun each day and then a good 30-minute soak in a pool. Also, try switching up his/her food. Try veggies one day, fruits one day, Monkey Chow or soaked dry dog food one day, Cactus or other vegitation one day or combine them all one day. Mine does the two step on combo days. It's very much like enrichment training at Zoo's. If it is different all the time, their mind never gets bored.

Make sure it has water around.. that it can get into.. and also some good, fresh greens that he can nibble on.. and, of course.. shade so he does not have to be out ini the sun.
