Is it okay to have 2 females n a male together
Yes, however, it's only okay if they have a very large enclosure, and lots of sight barriers. Several hides, feeding and water stations too. Then you still have to be prepared to separate incase the mating or bulling gets way too agressice. No table or box will be big enough.
@Coley K, you have asked three versions of this question since January and you have been given very clear answers: it is not okay to house Russians together; it is not okay to house males and females together; it is not okay to let your male tortoise attack your female tortoise.

If you aren’t going to take the advice given, why do you keep asking the same question?

Thanks
What size enclosure do you have them in right now?
You really need to separate them or give them a massive enclosure.

There are ways to house three Russians together in a 2 female too 1 male ratio. There is a chance of it working if done with the proper amount of room etc. however, caution always has to be considered and housing them separate is always a possibility. A bigger group of females too male ratio is always going to be better too.
I'm guessing the OP only had one female and is now trying to figure out how to house them all together and would adding another female work.
Let me stress the point of a very large enclosure. It has to be a large room size or yard size. Lots of sight barriers, etc.

Haha I knew it. It takes a dummy who has also done it to recognize the mistake, so no worries lol. Reply and insert a pic or two if you can...the torts and the enclosure would be nice. Also, you don't need two enclosures to separate them. Just use a divider they can not cross or dig under (like my escape artist did). Just be sure you have a large enclosure.
In your profile, you describe yourself as a 17 year old young male. You will also have other interests, ie girls, cars, your studies and more. Fitting into your schedule the care of 10 tortoises will be time and energy consuming. You can certainly do this, but do you really want to devote this much time to proper tortoise care? I'm over 70 years old and I have some difficulty devoting enough time to our 4 CDTs. Is this perhaps a fleeting fancy, or a true committment? Perhaps try caring for 1 tortoise and see if there is enough time in your schedule for 10 Russians. I'm eager to hear of your decision.
