Good morning all,
Some day in the future, I want to possibly breed Russians. Thus, I've been entertaining the idea of adding a female Russian tortoise (CB would be nice, but I understand finding an adult female is rare). She would be added with my 6 year old CB male Russian. I'd keep them in different enclosures, and probably not put them in contact for a good time. That leads to my questions of how long should a new tortoise be "quarantined" for? And has any owner ran into problems with mixing CB and Wild Caught? Any other thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Best,
-Thomas
