You need an outdoor enclosure, BIG. 2 or more girls and a boy. Its that simple.

I suggest you do a bunch of reading on the subject - there is a 'breeding' section on this forum, and then also RT-specific breeding info on www.russiantortoise.net - baby tortoises are the cutest thing ever, BUT, be aware that you need a very large enclosure (preferably outside) and at least 2 females for the male, 3 females and 1 male are ideal. Otherwise the male gets too aggressive towards the female, and you end up with a bitten, bleeding female that gets unhappy and stops eating and might die.

Out of curiosity, what is your motivation in wanting to breed your tortoise?
