I just wanted to say hello and welcome to TFO. You found the right place to get the advice you need. I have a Russian but have never raised a baby. So stick around. There are threads here for Russians and their care until a more knowledgeable member answers you though in the meantime. Also if you can provide pictures that will help them help you.?

I promise you won't regret it. I had my tortoise for many years and felt so alone. I've even had a pet shop try to sell me turtle food for a Russian! I quit looking online for many years and then one night I found TFO. Just keep searching the site there's info all over it. Good luck with your baby.
