I do not have a Russian but i have a Sulcata from underground and am having the exact same issues. Mine is growing very little. Still alive though ( 9mo) but VERY underweight. However looks bright, ways, goes potty and urinates well. Ive taken mine to the vet 3 times. My tort was very picky and still is. I chop the greens small. Know there is hope. Mine is starting just now to show interest in grasses and clover and dandelions from the yard which it would have nothing to do with before. Mine loves butter lettuce so i try a thin sprinkle of that to get him going over his other greens. It may not be what he needs but it seems to be the one thing he loves and it gets his appetite going. I even have used some baby butternut squash or pumpkin as a treat. I wish you the best and I’m happy you are letting your tort live it’s best life! Sorry Underground did you wrong as well. I didn’t know about this forum until after i got my tortie but a lot of the suggestions from members have really helped me! Better advice than many vets in my area can give.
