    Temp And Survival Russian tortoise

    My Tort has a good life. He gets fed twice a day, soaked 4 days a week and gets a variety of food and walks. Just letting you know he's ok. He's also very active and has quite the character.

    Temp And Survival Russian tortoise

    I made it seem like she was a bad mom which she isn't, its only going to be like that temporarily. My moms worried that it will start a fire if I'm not home and it's on ya know? But it doesn't get below 65 so he should be ok. When I get home from school, his light goes on and when I go to sleep...

    Temp And Survival Russian tortoise

    ok so my mom told me that I can only keep him light on for 3 hours a day and I know that's not enough for a Russian tort. Will he be ok? I don't want to give him up. I can only keep it on for 12 hours on weekend. I can't give him up. Will he be ok? Thank you

    When my tortoise is walking around the house will he get cold????

    Might want to change your substrate to coc coir or wood chips of mix them. It's best not to do pellets

    Does his shell look okay?

    CHANGE THE SUBSTRATE!! Sand is not good for Russians because if they eat it, it clogs up their insides and can be fatal. I recommend coco fiber or coir and or wood chips. no sand because sand can kill them

    Male or Female??

    You might want to change the bedding in her enclosure. I recommend coco coir and wood chips.

    Russian Tortoise to rehome

    Well for me, I took out the wood chips and now I have coco fiber and coco coir. But when I did have the wood chips I used repti bark but I took it out to try something new. I would use coco coir mixed with wood chips. Just me. See if your Tort likes it but no sand

    Indoor Play Time

    Actually, they love to just walk outside. It's fun for them. They walk super fast when excited and I guess that's fun for them. So just take him out and watch him and that all he needs.
