We read that Russian tortoise like dandelions and roses and I know you have to make sure there are no pesticides... But are there any other flowers and weeds that we can feed him???
We are new Russian tortoise owners and we were reading something that said for at least 8 weeks a year you put your tortoise into hibernation??? Basically that you keep the body temp to 40-45 degrees... Is this true???
If so when do you do this?? And why???
Thanks in advance
We read somewhere that a tortoise will always search for his original home??? Is this true we were wondering if that is why he keeps trying to climb out???
