Soon to be owner of a Russian tortoise

[Arjun&Yoshi]

Hi all,

My son Arjun will be the very happy caregiver and friend of "Yoshi" next week, a gift for his 10th birthday. Although he has read a ton on his own, because he is young, mommy has also had to learn all about Russian tortoises! we are so glad to have found this forum as we are going to need lots of help. We live in Southern Ontario just outside of Toronto.

Thanks in advance for the help I know I'll get here!

Welcome to the Forum, Neetu! You and Arjun can read the Russian tortoise care sheet that we have pinned at the top of the Russian tortoise section. There's also another good one at http://russiantortoise.net/care_sheet.htm

Welcome! Great parenting! I'm a form believer in researching any pet before it's brought into the home. It's a good practice!
