Yes he's my little nugget! Thankyou for confirming I will buy a few pansies and others for him and see how we get on. Don't worry I am very strict on what I feed him and always check the tortoise table app first! I never feed him fruit either as he's a russian.
Hey, yes always on the look out for these two. I just find that most plantain is in the middle of fields etc so is always trampled on and torn. I will keep looking though :)
Hi all!

Hi, I would just like to run past you guys here if everything I'm doing is ok for my little russian tort that I've had for nearly a month now, he is about 2.5'' long. I have learnt so much from you all since being on this forum! He will soon be moving into his new enclosure which I'm very...
Are these really really necessary? I am all about giving my baby tort the best life possible so will get one if I have to. They are so expensive and can't believe that every tort owner owns one? What level is correct UV?
I quickly changed from similar substrate. I would really recommend changing to Coco coir for your baby russian. Mine loves it! Currently adding a bit of water and mixing it all up every day or two and keeping the humidity around 50-60% throughout the day. Your baby will find burrowing a lot...
