Can a russian tortose eat wild strawberries? I think they can but I want to make sure if I'm right.
I bought this thing called an eggling and (hopefully) it will grow a wild strawberry plant. I got it because I thought it will be cool and then I realize I can give the strawberries to the...
So, I decided that I will go with with a 50 gallon tub for the enclosure. I want to make a tortoise table but I need more time to plan that out.

I have a couple questions about a russian tortoise enclosure.

I live in Maryland currently and I don't have a Tortoise yet. I am hoping to get one but I'm trying to decide if I have the ability to take care of it. I was hoping that I'll find some help here on figuring out what a beginner needs for a tortoise (specifically a russian tortoise).
