This morning when I went outside to feed my Russians, I saw this. I ran in to get my camera, couldn't believe they stayed like that and seemed to pose for my photos. So cute.....

I thought I'd share a crazy experience with all of you... I have 4 Russians, they all live in a very large outdoor enclosure. However one of them (Pasha, the youngest) has his own room since when we got him last year the other 3 were biting him. The other 3 get along really well, no fighting...

I know this might be a crazy question but here goes.... We have 4 Russians, 3 have been with us for about 5 years. Our new baby (Pasha) we got earlier this year. The older 3 had been torturing little Pasha, humping him, biting him... it broke my heart. So obviously, we separated him from...

I guess it is that time of year again... my torts are outdoors all the time in a fully enclosed pen (12' x 17'). They have lots of tunnels and hiding places. This past week we had rain (well, actually drizzles - Los Angeles rain) and I haven't seen 2 of the torts all week. I think...

We have a Florida Box Turtle, Charlie, for 3 years. We've been told he is a FBT but he might be a 3-toed Box Turtle. He lives in an enclosed pen outdoors (So.Ca.) all year long. He eats worms, steak, chicken but won't eat any veggies or fruit and is very picky about when he wants to eat...

We have 3 Russians, all males that are now able to be outside (Sunny So. CA) again. Two had hibernated during the winter months, one never did but was kept indoors. All 3 have always been fine together, in fact we sometimes wonder how they find each other in the large outdoor pen to stay...

I have 3 Russians living in a large outdoor fully enclosed pen. They have several areas (tunnels) where they go at night to sleep and in the summer during the really hot days. We have them for about 1 1/2 years. Last winter we kept them indoors with lights, heater, etc and did not let...

This tortoise was walking up my driveway this morning. We put him in our backyard and will post signs in the neighborhood. But need help... what kind is he/she? We have 3 Russian Torts and 1 Florida Box Turtle but this one is a lot bigger. I kind of hope no one claims him, I would love...

I still can't believe it!! I have to share my news... Months ago our Florida Box Turtle, Sharlie (who might be a male... tbd), got out and went MIA. We posted signs in the neighborhood, looked everywhere... we were heartbroken. So we decided to adopt Russian Tortoises and now have 3 males...

[/size][/font][size=medium]I just got 2 new Russian Tortoises. I bought one from Petco and the other one was given to me from Petco because she has a crack in the shell. I think they are both females... Tatiana and Mika. They already seem to love their new home and "boyfriend", Yuri. I...

Our RT is very regimented in his daily routine. He is indoors during the night, while we are finishing the roof of his outdoor palace. At 7 a.m. he wakes up and then I either feed him inside or take him outside to his new outdoor pen. He stays outside all day, walks around in the a.m. and...

We have just about completed our tortoise pen for our RT (Yuri). We still need to attach the chicken wire roof and plant some more edibles but otherwise his "palace" is done. It is really big for just him, 16' x 10' (we did get carried away with the size), and so we would love to adopt some...

I am new to tortoises and just got my RT last week, named Yuri :) I read everything I could find and finally decided on a sand, dirt and pellets for the substrate. Petco does not recommend sand because the tort might accidentally eat it and so I won't use it in the future. My question is how...
