Hi Jaden:

It sounds to me as if you're trying to take the easy way. Its best if you do the research, not have us do it for you. There is plenty of reading material here in our archives about Russian tortoises. Then after you've read up on the subject, we're here to answer specific questions for you. We're very glad to help, but you've asked such a broad question, none of us would know where to start.

Start with http://www.russiantortoise.org/ and also look around on this site. Once you have, fire away with specific questions.

Ok well them can they eat corn?

 

[lynnedit]

They can, even corn on the cob, but only as an occasional treat, 1-2x per month.
The main component of their diet should be weed type plants, some flowers, etc.

Here is a good site to check if a plant is safe:
