not trying to seem like aa jerk, but you really should've researched BEFORE getting the animal. Putting it in unfit conditions will stress it out and make it ill.
i personally have no expirience with 3 toes, but from having my ornate, i know they are not "easy" pets. alot of time, effort and green (in more than one sense) goes into making her happy. but she is, so that makes me happy too.

just my opinion
