Why hello there!
My name's Lauren, and I am a happy owner of a Russian tort. I've been striving to make sure my baby has the happiest and healthiest lifestyle possible, and to do so, I need to do my research!
I've been working my way towards buying him a tortoise table, and I'm trying to make sure he gets plenty of exercise and play-time. He hates sitting in his cage; he wants to roam around rather than sit in his 100 gallon tank.
ANYWHO! My tort is probably one of the most cuddly torts in the word he absolutely love being pet and held; not kidding! I've been wondering how to pet a tortoise? Can you pet a tortoise under their neck? I usually just rub his neck and lightly massage his shell.
I've heard of people rubbing the underside of a tortoise's neck, but I'm kind of afraid that it would scare him. Any comments?
Have a great day!!!!
