No. this kit contains many things that aren't correct or useful for a tortoise.Does this include substarte and everything?
Hi Sherdil! 30x48 inches would work out at around 120 CM in length - so your 60 CM tub unfortunately wouldn’t be large enough ☹️ This is also just a minimum, and we recommend going even larger if possible!In the care sheet it said ' I start babies in a 30x48 inch closed chamber ' So my tub is fine?
The tub is not ok. He will not survive in that. Get a glass reptile cage maybe if you search a local pet store and see online if they have tanks! And everything else you need. Dome fixture light, basking light, uvb light, so 2 dome fixtures, substrate and two small shallow bowls for food and water.So the tub is not ok? Plus He used to do this snapping sound when he would breathe but now it has stopped. Is that good?
Ok I'll search That upHi Sherdil! 30x48 inches would work out at around 120 CM in length - so your 60 CM tub unfortunately wouldn’t be large enough ☹ This is also just a minimum, and we recommend going even larger if possible!
Have a look at “vivariums” online - I find there is always second hand ones that people no longer need that you can get cheaper. This is a good example of a “closed chamber” ?
I found some, I am just asking where they are located and how much is the priceOk I'll search That up
I dont have a full grown tortoise but hes a baby. Ill check if I can find something like that. Thanks!Glass tanks are way too expensive. You'd need a very big one for a full grown Russian tortoise and a big glass tank would cost TOO much. Just look for a large plastic tub, something like this:

Get the biggest one you can afford.

I found one that is 42x30x10 cmCan you look for one at least 90-100 cm in width?

Sure! But right now they are busy, so maybe after they are free.That would still be too small unfortunately!
Is there any way you could give your phone/laptop to your parents? Maybe if we can talk to them directly we can explain how they can help you and your Tortoise find the right sized enclosure
I found this storage box that carries 60Ltr. Is that good or too small?.That would still be too small unfortunately!

Probably too small because the volume is calculated using the height as well as the width and length.I found this storage box that carries 60Ltr. Is that good or too small?.
He is feeling better. My parents said that we could take him to the vet soon. We are still looking for a good cage. but I have made up my mind and have decided that i will make a cage out of wood. He is making bubbles rarely now and doesnt squeak often. I think this is because we are taking him walks.@Sherdil Hi Sherdil. Any update on your Tort? Is he feeling better?
