Thank you guys so much! My friend "provided" space for him (which is not ideal, play sand, ugh) but I'll keep him in there, then.

May I ask why? Is it the parasite issue? Or a weird pheromone thing?

I have an adult Russian and my friend wants me to watch his juvenile Sulcata (they're about the same size). I'm obviously not going to house them together, but do I need to worry about parasites or anything with using the same habitats (inside and out) for both? Alternating their time in each?

Where can you buy moss? And what kind?

And I'll be sure he has a place to hide and to burrow when it gets really hot.

Yes, it's a good sized patio area and I do plan on building him a secure enclosure soon, right now I'm working on his indoor expansion. Not going to lie, I could use the sunlight, myself, so I don't mind sitting out with him (as I shooed a cat away a minute ago).

I really just need to figure out a way to make an outdoor enclosure predator proof. Lots of feral cats like to hang out on my patio, unfortunately. Also, he loves it. Such a great smile!

I try to bring Manfred outside as often as possible when it's nice and sunny out (there's been an abnormal amount of rain in Austin, lately, poor buddy) and I put him in a kiddie pool without water, never unsupervised. Here's the question, does/will he get the full uva/uvb effects if he's not...

Thanks! Maybe I'll try that!

Are there other recommended "dry" foods besides the Mazuri? Manfred eats around the LS I've been putting on his food, and 25 lbs is a WHOLE lot for a little Russian.

How difficult is it to cut tileboard? The only size my Home Depot has is WAY too big.

Adopter of Sir Manfred the Russian Tortoise.

Mr. Manfred is currently living in a ZooMed Tortoise House, which, I know is too small of a space for him. I have a bookshelf that I'm planning on using to improve his habitat, but I have a couple questions. First, the backing is particle board, so needs to be replaced. Is there a specific...

May the Forth be With You! Because Star Wars.

Manfred settled right in to his new home! Soaked him a bit after our travel to relax him and he's been eating, pottying, and exploring like the brave little guy he is!

This is Manfred! Adopted him this afternoon from Eden Animal Sanctuary in San Antonio, TX! He has QUITE the little personality, this picture is from the ride home!

Put in an application this morning to adopt a Russian from a local rescue! Fingers crossed!

Someone already asked, but I didn't see an answer. What kind of soil should be used?

Teehee! That tiny tortoise tongue! :D
