Don't know if I mentioned it but smaller tortoises are easily dehydrated. Be sure to soak him once or twice a week in room temp water. For my baby tortoises I use a small plastic sweater box and fill the water just deep enough so that the tortoises will need to stick their head out of their shell so to breath. Basically just deep enough that it covers their head if it is inside their shell.
