    That doesn't sound like a very balanced diet. What was he being fed before you got him?

    What kind of a tortoise is it?

    I have a feeling they just feed him lettuce :( I actually felt like I rescued it from the pet shop. there wasnt even the proper lighing in it.

    its a horsefield tortice

    You're probably right re: the pet shop feeding him only lettuce.

    I'm afraid I don't know a whole pile about tortoises but no doubt there will be an API boardsie that does along soon hopefully!

    In the meantime I found a couple of dedicated tortoise forums where your question might have been already asked.
