It is illegal to collect tortoises from the wild. Wild tortoises will often hiss and urinate on you if handled.
Tortoises naturally occur on the lower slopes of mountain foothills, in fairly rocky terrain.
If you determine that the animal you found is wild, within 24 hrs. If this fails, you may keep the tortoise. Tortoises probably do not get lonely, they tend to be solitary reptiles. So, we recommend female tortoises if you want to care for more than one. My tortoise loves to eat fruit, especially bananas, melon and grapes.
