My Russian tortoise arrived today and is almost one years old and is very tiny! I live in the UK and am slightly uncertain of how to care for him as he seems rather fragile. I'm thinking of keeping inside but I'm slightly concerned that he might not get enough sun although he has a UV light.

Yes, they do seem rather fragile at that age/size. But he's quite hardy. Just give him the correct care and he will thrive. We have a nice care sheet at the top of the Russian tortoise section, here on the Forum.

Oh, and by the way...Welcome to the Forum!!
