Well said though I don't trust Nigerian vets who studied in Nigeria. Are they properly trained to cure exotics and sea animals like tortoise? I personally doubt it.

9jadelta: first, is your tortoise aquatic or semi aquatic?
aquatic tortoises are mostly carnivorous, which means their diets must be atleast 65-90% flesh.. U can feed them things like worms, small live fishes etc.
If its semi aquatic, then you can feed it more vegetables and less flesh because it is omnivores

gluv01: Feed your baby tortoise everyday with fresh plants, flowers and leafy vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, and dandelions. Dust the food with vitamin and calcium supplements two or three times a week. Some flowers are toxic to tortoises, so ask your vet which ones to avoid. You can also include a small amount of fruit. Your pet will also need a constant supply of clean drinking water. Use a wide, shallow dish so it can drink and bathe without risk of drowning.

Health: Tortoises should have few health problems if they are cared for properly. Look out for shell distortion or softness as this could be a sign of vitamin or calcium deficiency. Make sure the plants in the enclosure are free from pesticides. Consult your vet if your pet loses it's appetite or if it's faeces aren't dark and firm. Tortoises should be micro chipped by a vet when the base of the shell reaches 10 centimetres in length, which will be at about 4 years old. At this age they will need an outdoor enclosure during the summer, and will hibernate in winter. Consult your vet beforehand for advice and to check your tortoise is the correct size and weight.

Enjoy your tortoise!
