First time Russian Owner

[s.w.larkin]

We are expecting to receive our first Russian Tortoise in a few weeks. There is a couple of questions I have. I am trying to find a decent list of safe/unsafe feeding options. As well, How early can you determine the sex of your tortoise.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello and Welcome Also, Congrats on your soon to be tort. Check out the tortoisetable.org for edible plant ideas. The sexing of a tort takes a few years. Some, more then others.

You can also check out www.russiantortoise.net they have a good list of foods for your tortoise. Age isn't as important as size in telling the sex of a tortoise, around 4 or 5 inches is best to be able to tell. Congratulations by the way.
