    My Russian tortoise is acting strangely.

    My Russian tortoise is acting strangely.

    My Russian tortoise is acting strangely.

    Hello, I've been trying to get some help from other sites, but no one seems to know what's wrong with my tortoise. He's a male Russian, and he is acting very stressed out lately. He's been pacing alot, which would be somewhat normal, except he's been acting very frantic lately. He seems...
