We honestly didn't know anything before getting him but did quite a bit of research and have been watching this subreddit since we had him. They gave us his travel enclosure (for summer families). It's about 4 ft x 2.5ft. I believe this is a little small but we take him out into the backyard for an hour each day (and walk with him), feed him (washed) lettuce from the garden twice a day and a dandelion or two. We got a ball pit container and used the dirt from the garden we dug up to put in it and some rocks so he has an outdoor area to hang out in if the weather is bad (it's on the back porch).

The enclosure we were given, had this wood mulch substrate, he does burrow in it sometimes but I don't see it used in other photos of other tortoises on here. Just curious if it's okay or if we should change it (we do clean out the poop and urine daily). They told us to feed him just 1 leaf of lettuce but we read it's supposed to be more so we been giving him more. He seems content with his enclosure, he walks around it a bit but by the time he's done with his outside time he just eats and calls it a night then sleeps for the rest of the night. We were debating on building a new enclosure that's bigger and more enriching for him but we have to take in account the enclosure has to be able to be transported as we would send it back with him when he goes back to School. We really enjoy him as a pet and want the best for him so I guess that's what is bringing me here.

When the sun hits just right there's 3 glare lines that just hurt my eyes while driving. It's on the outside of the car (I know people have issues with glare on the interior). Some special tape?
