I was wondering from different owners what type of substrate do you use for your Russian tortoise?

Hi I have a Russian tortoise and he is such a picky eater, he LOVES Kale. I’ve noticed anything with frill. What else could I feed him like this? I want to give him variety.

Hi, my name is Alyssa I just got a male russian tortoise and I just wanted to ask some questions! How can I bond to my russian tortoise? I was told by people in the forums he looks about 10 years old. Do Russian Tortoises like to play with anything? I've seen some love to push around balls...

I thought so too!

That's crazy! Petrie hasn't exhibited trying to want to climb out, he just digs so far that I've noticed but I will keep this in mind! Thank you!

I think Petrie might be upset about the broccoli. Lol. I'll get the leafy greens. I'm going to go get them now actually. I just ordered a temp gun. Overall Width: 24.5 inches Overall Height: 35.96 inches Overall Depth: 9.45 inches I'm sorry if I seem like I'm naive & dumb, he came in a glass...

He really likes broccoli is that good? I gave him bell peppers and he hates those he always throws them off the plate

This is his lighting. Is this okay or should I add more?

Alright no strawberries, noted. On a slate can you show me what the slate would look like? I have his hut which he goes in when he wants to hide or he just burrows should I get another? I have the zoo lamp and it covers half the cage. I made his turtle box by a bookshelf with no shelves so he...

Thank you for what you have to say, I honestly didn't know! I will go to the store tonight and get proper food for Petrie. I want him to have a good life and feel loved. He's a good eater, he loves to sit and munch.

I did start reading that thread but for me personally when I engage in convo it helps me learn more and get me more engaged since I feel my questions are being answered personally. I added photos of him at the bottom! Critique me all you want. I tried to make a comfy area for him, I know they're...

Hi! wow he's 10?? How would you know that?! Is it because of his tail length? I added pictures of him at the end of the forum. You can critique anything I do not mind if anything I'd love that. I want this tortoise to be as happy as he can be. Thank you for being kind. I change out his lettuce...

Hi! about 4 days ago I adopted my russian tortoise Petrie. Stupidly, I got him from petco but I went in there for a whole different thing and when I saw him in there I didn't wanna leave without him. I already made him a tortoise table I started with the mistake of a glass tank but I changed...
