How to make my new adult Russian to eat

[ariesxiao]

Bought an adult Russian tortoise recently and she never eats anything in my place including the greens loved by my other tortoise. It is more than 1 week from I got her. I keep her separate with other Russians in a enclosure with good temperature(85-95F) and humidity( more than 50%) and soak her everyday. What else can I do to make her to eat?

Thanks!

Let her settle in. A week of not eating is nothing in the live of a tortoise. I would extend the soak as long as possible. Hydration is more important than food.

What where they feeding the Russian at the place you got them from? Just soak them daily and afterwards put infront of food pile. It could take a little while to get used to the CHANGE! Good Luck
