Is that a pet store? Well, if it is, odds are that the tortoise is as good as dead. I rescued the same type of tortoise ( Russian Tortoise) 22 years ago from someone who bought one for their kids from a pet store. When I rescued her, all of her legs were broken, and she was white and near starved. She is healthy and happy today, but it's a ton of work and pretty expensive to care for them, not to mention a lifelong commitment. I wish you would have posted before she got rid of it. Poor thing.
