My new Russian Tortoise....
This is my newest tortoise.
I had a young Sulcata escape two months ago. A woman responded to one of my Lost and Found ads on Craigslist, claiming she found a tortoise a few months ago that that looked just like my little guy. When we arrived, we found that it was not even close to being my Sulcata, but the woman was desperate to rehome him as she isn't a "tortoise person" and had been trying to find his owner for 2 months with no success. I was so disappointed it wasn't my missing Sulcata, but very happy to have Ted (haven't renamed him, yet!!!) in our family!
This is my first Russian. I have researched the heck out of them the past few days, but could always use input from your experiences!! So far my main impression is that he is a total character...a little bruiser with a strong will. He has escaped twice into the Sulcata enclosure. I woke up this morning and couldn't find thim anywhere....finally found him sleeping next to my Sulcata in the adjacent enclosure! I am still not sure how he escaped....he didn't burrow! But i have bricks to add so he cannot see the Sulcata from his area...maybe that will help!
