Well I bought him from a reptile specific pet store and when I got him I feed him the stuff you listed because I did some research before I got him, I would OCCASIONALY feed him Romaine if we ran out of the "recommended" stuff until I got some more but now he wont even really eat anything but...

Hey, Ive had a russian for about 2 years, he is in an indoor terrarium and is happy and healthy except theres one problem, he is really picky, I know Russians should be fed stuff like dark leafy greens such and dandelion greens but Ive fed him all those things and he dosent eat them so one day I...

Well Ive had a russian tortoise about a year that I got from a reptile shop, he was probaly not captive bred but he looked healthiest out of them all, today I was giving him a bath and he pooped, as the poo kinda fell apart since it was really just balled up lettuce I noticed little stringy...

Its a normally a bad idea to mix tortoises as GB said but he is wrong about one thing, no matter where a Greek Tortoise comes from they require the same enviormental needs from the middle east to Southern Greece so you shouldnt worry about that.

Your tortoise is has basicaly the same exact schedule my Suvorov does. The bubbles could be a Respitory Infection which could be from dusty conditions (resulting in irritation of the mucus membranes), foreign bodies lodging in the nostrils, inappropriate humidity or temperature, lack of...

Yeah Ill try to get some pics up soon, I brought him outside today and he was walking around and I fed him a piece of Dandelion green and he seemed much more active so I will try to get him out as much as possible. I was planning on getting a vet appointment in November or so but he looks...

Sue-ver-ov, its named after a Russian General Alexander Suvorov who live during the Napoleonic Period and never lost a battle and was a heavyweight in most European Politics at the time, thanks though guys, I just fed him and he is eating like crazy, probaly didnt get much food at the place...

Okay, I just picked up a Russian Tortoise from a pet shop. I was going to buy the Greek but it had just a little bubbles comming from his nose so I figured he was slightly sick and didnt feel like going to the vet with my first tortoise when there was a perfectly good, lively bright eyed Russian...

Okay thank you very much, now to convince my parents to let me have one lol

Okay, so the only difference is the temps right, is there any substrate difference?

Hi, Im very intrested in getting a tortoise as a pet and Ive done alot of research on the red foot tortoise but something about the greeks I like, Ive done some research and discovered all the different types of Greeks, now I am looking to get a golden greek or a normal type greek and was...

No I have plently of room but I dont think my parents would be to crazy about a tortoise enclosure in their backyard, I was thinking since Im getting a very young redfoot by the time its big my parents will be older so they probaly wouldnt care if I maybe built one outside, I was thinking of...

Its always a goood idea to keep a cuttlebone in you tortoises enclosure for calcium as its a pretty good source, not exactly a tortoise expert so Im not sure if babies would be able to eat it though.

I know Tim, when I was in the 4th grade I had a pet baby sulcata and besides me not giving it the right foods (i wasnt as well educated on tortoise diets as I am now) I kept pretty good care of it (got rid of it though because we realized there was no way we could house it later on) and I really...

Okay guys I have a finished basement that I come down often to watch tv or go on the computer, I was wondering since it has alot of space would it be a good Idea to keep a cherry head down there or no.
