Hi Tina

I have ripped up lots of tissue and but it in his little house/hide, he seems to have settled down now and has buried himself under the tissue.

I don't have a garden so I will go get topsoil for him. He has a water bowl but avoids it like the plague and he doesn't like his baths, warm water under the heat lamp!!

I got him from the tortoise shop (www.thetortioseshop.com) and spoke to them to get all the info I could before hand!!

I think it may be a good idea to take your tort, with a poo sample, to the vet just to check that he has no internal parasites. Do you know of any good tortoise/reptile vets in your area?

You will easily be able to get a bag of topsoil from your local garden centre or diy shop and Argos sell bags of childrens playsand.
