Hi all! As there are different opinions and witnessed situations on this topic, I thought I'd show how my Russian torts are getting along great
I got my my girl Slookie about 10 months ago. A few weeks back, Princess Leia came to stay with us for a holiday (and later as an indefinite house guest) and last week, Gandalf the Grey completed the group as a male.
We got Gandalf because the girls were getting along really great. I thought Slookie (as our vet thinks she was dragged from the wild ( ) would be territorial, but her curiosity took over and she and Leia are always close together. I thought they were always cuddled up together because I only have one heat lamp, but even when the sun hits the whole terrarium, they bask in the sun close together. Gandalf first stirred things up a little when he got here by knocking over plants and walking over the girls and quite literally getting in their way. A week later now, things have calmed down and they're doing great. Slookie has been more active since she got her companions (previously, she would just eat, walk around a little and then bury herself in the soil). I even saw her 'running' yesterday. As it's only been a week, much can change, but the prospects are good
