Tortoises have been on the planet for over 200 million years, which means that these exciting creatures walked the earth at the same time as dinosaurs.[1] They make enchanting pets and are fun to watch and to care for. However, since they\'ve been around a long time, they\'ve had plenty of time to pick up a few preferences and to develop a thorough list of personal care needs. This means that caring for a tortoise is a bigger commitment than you may think and that it takes time and dedication to make sure that your tortoise stays healthy and strong. If you want to learn how to start caring for this incredible creature, see Step to get started. Nourishing and Handling Your Tortoise : 1 Feed your tortoise. The type of food your tortoise eats will largely depend on the species of tortoise you\'ve chosen. It\'s important to ask the source where you got the tortoise what you should make a part of its staple diet. In general, though, most tortoises eat mixed leafy greens, such as a typical \"spring mix\" you can find at any grocery store. When tortoises are babies, they need to eat softer or crispier foods, because their tiny jaws will find it hard to tear apart harder foods. Tortoises can eat most vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, or kale, especially if you mix them in with the mixed greens, but it\'s important to know what your type of tortoise needs. Your tortoise may need supplements to make sure that he or she grows healthy and strong. The supplements must have Calcium and a some Vitamin A, Vitamin D3 should be offered too if the tortoise is kept indoors without UV light. Some tortoises prefer dandelion leaves, celery, lettuce, and sometimes fruit. 2 Provide your tortoise with water. It\'s important that your tortoise has enough water to stay hydrated and healthy. You can just pour some water in a shallow tray or saucer and sink it into the floor of the enclosure so that your tortoise can\'t flip it over. It should be shallow enough so that your tortoise can easily stand in it and can place its head in the water without being completely submerged. Replace the water daily. Your tortoise should have its own bowl of water, whether it is outdoors or indoors. 3 Handle your tortoise with care. Never drop a tortoise; if their shell breaks, they might die from an infection. Though you may be dying to hold your pet tortoise, you should try to take it easy on holding it, or letting others hold it. This can be stressful for your favorite creature. If there are small children around, explain to them that it would be better if they would admire it through observation and contact is only necessary during care. 4 Soak your baby tortoise in water a few times a week. Tortoises need to stay hydrated, especially when they are young. When you first bring home your tortoise, you should soak it in water a few times a week, so it feels fully hydrated, making sure to keep its head above water. Usually, after a tortoise is good and soaked, The tortoise will almost immediately begin to drink it. This will be a sign that everything is running smoothly. Remember that more isn\'t always more when it comes to soaking your tortoise. Every other day at most should be just fine. The water temperature should be about a baby bath temperature. 5 Choose the type of shelter you\'d like for your tortoise. Ideally, you should provide some outdoor shelter for your tortoise. Some people believe that it\'s inhumane to care for a tortoise only indoors. If you\'re really committed to having one, you should be prepared to have some outdoor shelter for it, unless it\'s a smaller tortoise or a variety that is really able to just stay indoors. If you\'re committed to having an indoor tortoise only, then you should do your research and pick a species that can handle this.[5] You can also mix and match, keeping your tortoise indoors for the colder months and letting it roam outdoors during the warmer months. You should be prepared for both types of housing to keep it healthy and happy. See the sections below for learning the proper care for your tortoise, whether it is an outdoor or an indoor creature.'
