Too be honest I'm not sure.. I am trying but trying to get price down seller asking way to much.

She has been fed on dog food seller confirmed this.

I have left it with the seller that if she can't sell her to get back to me if she is prepared to negogiate price. If I had the cash I would pay the money but I haven't at the moment. I'll have to wait and see x

She looks female to me too

I'd be careful though! There is a hermans at my college that looks exactly like this and is suffering with MBD right now (Reptile Vet confirmed this) and has been for months.

If you do take her, good on you!

I hope the seller comes down in price for you, you would look after her much better but dont let her pass any nasty things to your others.

Just so the new keeper reading this post understands. The feeding of the dogfood has little to do with the tortoise shape. It most likely wasn't kept under the proper environmental conditions which is why it looks the way it does.
