Answer
Hi Laura
I am sorry for the delay in answering your question

First of all- a household tortoise is a very generalized name
It would help to narrow down what species of tortoise that you have
I am sure that it was sold to you by the pet shop by that name

Here are two very good website links that covers multi- species of tortoises and their care

Good Luck with your new pet
