I live here in the beautiful PNW, Seattle, WA area, and wanting to hear from people who have outdoor enclosures in this area or similar climate. I have one Russian tort.
What months do you usually house outdoors?
Do you need a heat source or UV light?
What type of enclosure do you use?
Do you...
So, the pet store told me for sure boy, vet told me she *thinks* it's a girl. Can you all tell me? Also...any guesstimates on age...pet site told me 6 months, vet had no clue. He's a Russian.
Ok, update...got the meds yesterday and we were not able to give them to him. He would not open his mouth! They said for me to take him home and try, but still couldn't. Ended up injecting into a banana, most of which he ate this am(it sat out all night) but I'm worried he didn't get it all...
Just got a call back. It is a roundworm. They have the medication for my RT, and said they will give him the first dose. He only needs 2 doses, so I will give him the 2nd and keep him home. I'm going to put him in a tote. What should I use for substrate? Also...I just thoroughly cleaned...
A better option? Is it fairly easy to do at home or should I have them do it there?

Sorry, that posted weird...Petsmart is being really good about it. They are paying to treat my Russian as well, and offered to treat him in house. What do you think would be better for a new tortoise...
