I just thought I would add... basically everything in the Care Sheet for Russian Tortoises - he comes with. Also, I am in Seattle. I figured location is important!

Hi! Please be kind. I am SOOO sad to be selling Totoro so soon after getting him. But after getting him I am realizing that I am not giving Totoro the home he deserves. Totoro is a 5-year male Russian Tortoise who has no health problems and is a social and very exploratory little guy. I am...

I’m feeling SOOO confused! I went to research a simple “can tortoises eat pumpkin?” well... because I want him to enjoy the holidays occasionally as well. Sooo tell me... can my Russian Tortoise eat pumpkin? If so, how do I feed it do him? Separately, while I was researching I ran across some...

I’m bringing my Russian tortoise home today! Here’s a photo of his indoor enclosure. What might you change, add, recommend I do differently? Is it weird to be nervous? I’m so nervous, excited, and jittery. Lol! I feel like a kid! Thanks in advance!

I read that a couple days ago, and then printed it and put it on our fridge! LOL! That’s going to be my tortoise bible.

That is incredibly helpful!! Thank you. I just spent some time taking notes and reading through this!!

I am thinking Russian Tortoise. What are your thoughts here? Also, how might I connect with a breeder? Thank you!!

Hi! I live in Seattle and I am hoping to adopt a tortoise in the next couple of weeks. ALL the supplies should be here in the next couple of weeks and I will be ready to go. Does anyone have any insight on where to go to adopt a tortoise? Having a Tortoise in the family has been a long time...
