Hello Henry and welcome to the forum.

My Landover is called Henry, great name. We have children in the family who have to name everything and this is named after my father.

I so loved your youtube video. Wilson looks a little character, I loved how you stroked him and he didn't flinch, obviously loves that.

I see he is 6 years old? How long have you had him?

There are some amazing experts on this forum and they will be able to give you hints about his home and so much more.

Mine do not like cucumber, but I am not too bothered as apparently there is not much in the way of nutrients. I have heard owners use it if they need to give their torts some medication.

Do keep us updated. At this time of year lots of us are preparing for a quiet winter while the torts hibernate. Have you thought about hibernating Wilson.

For your first 5 posts you will find it takes about a day before they appear and after that they become live immediately.

Best wishes

Welcome Henry ! and I can see Wilson is going to be an A star celebrity in his own right !
The table is brilliant, you're Dad is good at tortoise table building and the set up is so nice.

That video is a real treat. As Jan said it is so sweet to see Wilson look up when you stroked him. He is a lovely little thing , you are very lucky, post away with photos wont you, we all love them on here. CB
