Hello all!
My name is Annie and I live in PA.
I am finally going to make my 9 year olds dreams come true and get him a tortoise. I think I am getting as excited as he is! After lots of research, I have decided on a Russian Tortoise and have been all over the internet trying to decide where to buy one from. My question for all of you is this....should I try to get a captive bred baby, so that the little guy will not 'miss' living in the outside world, or would it be OK to get an adult. I certainly plan on taking the guy outside as much as is possible....
And also, do you recommend any breeders?? How soon would I be able to get the guy?? Hoping to surprise my boy in two weeks for his birthday.
Thank you so much in advance for your help! I find forums like these to be just wonderful for advice and such!!
