    I'm not 100% certain, mostly comparing images and the fact that our tortoise has four toes. I will try to take some more close up images when I get her out to soak later. ?

    Please Help ? ? (Need info on Russian tortoise)

    That's helpful to know. I am currently looking at ordering a replacement. I have tried not to do anything via a petshop as I have heard they often give out bad or misguided advice, but I did have to get the cuttle bone from one. Everything we got for her was based on information online...

    Please Help ? ? (Need info on Russian tortoise)

    I am looking as much information and advice as possible. My partner has always wanted a tortoise, so his sister got him one as a surprise, which is lovely, but we had nowhere to keep her or anything. We went and bought a vivarium, heat lamp, UV lamp, food and water bowls. I am hoping this is all...
