Just bear in mind that when they reach sexual maturity (or sometimes sooner) you may have to separate them and give each their own habitat.

Most of the care advice for the Gopherus species is old, out-dated and wrong. Many DT babies die every year due to dehydration related complications. Just like any other species, they need a drink of water now and then. I have a 100% success rate using these methods for hatchling DTs: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/russian-tortoise-care-sheet.80698/
