    Seeking Hideout Advice

    My Russian tortoise has a huge box for a hideout, it's about 12" deep and 9" across. He sleeps in it during the night, but hardly ever goes in it during the day. It takes up a huge space in his terrarium, though. I just recently made him a hideout using a Blue Bunny plastic icecream...

    Walking into walls repeatedly.

    My Russian Tortoise is brand new, he's been in his tank since yesterday now. He has moved around his food and water dish a lot, and he repeatedly keeps walking and bumping into the walls.

    Would my Russian eat clover?

    I have noticed my Russian trying to eat the fake plants in his terrarium, so I had a thought of planting some clover and other small green leaves in his tank for him to eat. Would he eat it? and better yet, is it safe for him?

I checked him over thoroughly before buying and he seems in excellent health, he...
