My Russian tortoise is approx 8 years ols and has always lived on sand with NO access to water to either drink or bathe. Having joined this forum I have realised that she should be on coco coir with water access.
My 1st question is shall i leave her in the environment she is used to because changing to coco coir would upset her or shall I switch right over. She buries herself whenever she gets chance in our garden but she can only go out on warm days as I live in the Netherlands inNorthern Europe..
I've had her for three weeks and am tring to adjust her living conditions but don't want to do it too quickly incase it upsets her.
My 2nd Question...She only eats green lettuce and apple at the moment and wont touch tomato or aný of the plants in out garden. I am currently reading the russian advice sheet provided on this forum.
