My Tortoise'

[Linford]

I need help to identify which species they are. Both are recently rescued ( yesterday ). And I think one is unhealthy. I know nothing on caring for them so all help and advice is much appreciated.

P.S. I forgot to take a pic of hands but they have 4 claws.

Russians. Here is a care sheet.

If they are being housed together one is probably bullying the other. You may not see this happen but it almost always does in pairs. The smaller, submissive one is basically trying to stay out of the other teratory but can not go anywhere. Seperate them and I bet it improves.

Thanks lis. The bullying I've noticed. The big one ( I believe is M ) is constantly biting the smaller ( I think is F ) ones legs. I have them separated now but I don't think they was before they came into my care.

Is there different subspecies of Russians?

I don;t think so, but I'm not very good at identifying subs.
