I need help please. I recently came into being a proud owner of a hingeback tortoise. I know very little about tortoise care. I tried to find info about this type of animal, but found very little. I was given it and was told it was a russian tortoise, but it looked nothing like those so I did some investigating and it looks closest to a hingeback not the ones from the dry climate. It has an all brown shell. I am worried at first he didn't eat his previous owner said he doesn't eat much. He doesn't go to the bathroom much either. I read online that these animals should eat meat of some kind. I tried mealworms he won't touch them. any suggestions? His legs are very skinny are they supposed to be skinny almost like a match stick with skin around it. There are so many other questions I have. Please respond if you can help in any way. Thank you so much.
