[rocky1998]

Is a 3 foot by 2 foot a good enclosure for a Russian tortoise ? He is about 3.5 inches in length and he will on,y be in this house for about 2 years till he gets a bigger one is it okay for the time being though ?


1 dwarf hamster
2 Russian torts
5 freshwater fish

No, way too small. A 3x5 or 6 would be about the smallest size.

an outdoor enclosure would be best for russians if that's an available option in your area.

Do the best you can, but bigger is better, even at 3.5 inches; better exercise, more stimulation, etc.

And a simple but secure outside enclosure for a few hours per day (or more), would be ideal in the warmer months.
