Hello I am interested in getting more than one Russian Tortoise. I am wondering what are my options for housing more than one Russian Tortoise? Example: 1 male 2 females ,etc.

One male to a group of 2 or 3 females in a big area with lots of sight barriers, hides, food and water stations.
However, there still may be a need for separating any that might bully another. Less of a chance with a proper size enclosure.
Russians are great escape artist by climbing and digging, so the whole enclosure will be to be escape proof.
I placed a puppy play pen fencing I had laying around in my Russian enclosure. Hardware cloth or chicken wire would be cheaper. Then I let the grass and weeds take it over.
