Rupert requires a large, grassy outdoor area to graze and roam, as well as a heated housing unit for when the temperature dips below 72 degrees.  He eats grass, veggies, and cactus, and needs to have a shallow water source to soak in daily (currently that's a baby pool).  If you are interested in having a sweet shell-friend in the family for the next 80-100 years and are willing to keep lots of grass and vegetables on hand, Rupert is your guy.
