So, I'm new to the tortoise family. I have a Russian named Grigor who I've had for a little while now. I am well aware that his species loves to burrow. I found this extrordianarilly amusing at the begginning of our little adventure. Well today I was outside gardening with my grandmother. Winter is coming soon and I take him outside any day that the temperature is decent. I noticed he was burrowing into the grass so I began to pull some up and pile it on top of him. He didn't mind. I removed him from under the pile of grass and as quick as he could he burrowed himself right back under there. imagine my excitement. So I picked some more grass, put it in a dish and Grigor's happy as can be. Now, I use a mix for substrate (some of that eco-brick and sand.) I keep telling myself to add another brick to the substrate to allow Grigor some more b-b-b-burrow room (all those familiar with the J. Giels Band, that was a quick reference). But, now I am aware of his likeness of the grass. Maybe because of the humidity? I read on someones post about hay, anyone have any suggestions? Like I said, I'm new to this. So Grigor's indoor habitat is pretty basic. 50 gallon rubbermaide tub with a water dish, a food dish, his calcium bone (which I don't think he uses-again, any suggestions?) Also, a rectangle stone and his wooden hide. How can I make it more enjoyable for him, or more amusing for him? Any advice, guidance, or suggestions are welcome! Thanks!!
