Looking after some tortoises for a friend...

Maybe I'm just a faggot but I can't help but think it's cruel to keep them in their small enclosure for their whole life. There's nothing to do for fun. Just food and water between periods of sitting under a lightbulb. Is this fine for them? Do they even care?

Well.. you don't really see tortoises doing much in nature besides eating, living, and trying to find somebody to fuck. They don't fly majestically through the air or romp wild through fields or anything like that, so... It doesn't seem that bad to me. If anything, it's a life of guaranteed safety, food, and relative comfort (if the owners are good and responsible) so it seems like a pretty decent deal for an animal like a tortoise.

I'd at least give it a fairly large enclosure and every now and then re-arrange it a little so the turtle could "explore" it all over again.
