We are new Russian tortoise owners for about a week now. We've never had one so I'm concerned about a few things. We'll start with diet... she only wants tomatoes. I put leafy greens in there with a few pieces of grape tomato, and she won't touch the greens but devours the tomatoes. Are they even safe for them to eat? What if that's the only thing she'll eat? Can a tortoise survive on tomatoes alone?
The second thing is... she burrows all the time. Is it normal for her to burrow in the coconut fiber and sleep most of the day? I'm not sure how old she is, but her shell is a little larger than my palm. Any help is appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!
