I've been trying to feed my newly acquired tortoise fresh kale, shredded carrots, and cucumbers. He's very active, but won't go for any of it. Is he okay? Possibly too busy looking for a female to eat? Possibly still in shock from being newly adopted? Any answers would be appreciated!
Hey guys! Do any of you know if it is safe for a Russian to eat succulents or cacti? I have lots of them(succulents) and have seen them suggested as tort food some places online, but I'm not certain if they are safe and/or healthy. Suggestions?
Any recommendations for socializing the guy? I've heard stories of tortoises that are very social, and other stories of tortoises that hardly interact with their owners. If there's any way I can help my tort to become social (as right now he's pretty scared) I would love to know how.
So I just ordered a zoo med tortoise house, and have heard that you can attach two together. I am thinking I might need another one so that he has more room to roam? What do you think?
Hello all! My name is Lucy, and I recently adopted a Russian Tort. I have found out he is a male, and am so happy to have him. He is, however, my first tortoise of any kind, and is already almost full grown. Any recommendations for making him feel at home? Also, any recommendations for a name...
