Sweet Russian Tortoise- Home Needed

I hope you all are having a great week. I have owned my rescue Russian tortoise for a little more than three years, and I am no longer able to care for him well, and I want him to have a long and happy life. I got him when he was estimated to be about 20 years old, and he is now about 23. He was very sick when I got him and has started to improve, but I have a full schedule and chronic illnesses and am unable to give him the care he deserves.

I am heartbroken to have to rehome him, and I want to make sure he is with people who know how to care for him.
He is very active and has been nursed back to health. He had some developing MBD in his back legs, but he is still very mobile, eats well, and is very interactive.
He has been a wonderful addition to our family, but we just unfortunately, we do not have the space or means to care for him with our poor health and work schedule.

It is very important to us that he finds a home with someone who knows how to care for him.
