Just looked where you’re located. Not sure I would brumate(hibernate) outdoors in Canada, but I’m not 100% on your climate.Scratch that, im only interested in russians at this point, sorry for bothering you!
I’d suggest an outdoor enclosure with a cold frame(tiny greenhouse) for summer months, and at the minimum a 2’x4’ tortoise table for winter. If you’re going to keep one indoors year round, don’t go smaller than 3’x6’ imo.
You can go to the Russian Tortoise section on here and ask good questions and find good answers. There are some amazing keepers here with TONS of knowledge who are willing to help you along the way!
Have fun while you build the enclosure and be creative! You’ll enjoy watching them explore your hard work!
