questions about keeping a tortoise indoors

Posted by sam on January 12, 2002 at 13:08:25:

I've been keeping snakes for many years and I'm now thinking of getting a tortoise. I have been looking into sulcatas and leopards. I live in NC and in the winter it gets too cold too keep them outside. Is it ok to keep them indoors year round? What about feeding them indoors, ie when they can't graze? Is it possible to provide adequate nutrition for them with prepared foods, vegetables, etc? Any good sites for care sheets that have specifics on indoor care?

Thanks.
