I'm looking to provide an outdoor enclosure for my Russian. Any tips on size, style, and care?

I have one small male Russian Tortoise and one male Red Footed Tortoise, each currently in seperate enclosures, each feed separately. The Red Foot is significantly bigger, but rather humble around any life form. The Russian tends to be shy. Would it be alright to put the two in one terrarium...

Not constantly, but now that summer's here (as of yesterday for me) he certainly will be!

So my Russian Tortoise won't eat anything I give him besides Romaine Lettuce. It couldn't be due to hibernation because he's active as ever and, well, it's June. How can I help this?

New and improved!

This is his terrarium

Thank you so much! I'll make sure I put all of thins information to use. I really appreciate it.

His light is actually the same one as the one in the second picture! I suppose he doesn't have a basking area, how could I set that up? And 6 inches of bedding seems like a lot, is it supposed to be a lot? And I'm gonna go out and buy him more greens today. As far as outside goes, how can I make...

I forgot to mention the top is metal.

I apologize, but I order to get a picture of need to be home and I won't be there until about 4 MTN time, so I'll describe it best I can. It's about a foot to a foot and a half tall and five-ish shell lengths long, and two-ish wide. He had a half log just big enough for him to fit his whole...

Thanks! And you don't sound evil, I'm actually grateful that you posted here. I upgraded to a new terrarium, but the ceiling is higher and I suppose the light doesn't hit him as well. He was given to me as a gift and is from petsmart (I know store bought is bad but you know he needed care) and...

I've had my Russian desert tortoise for about 9 months now, and he has not yet gone to the vet for a check up. I soak him in water roughly every two to three days and feed mainly kale, along with other greens and grape tomatoes. He's two or three years old and sleeps most of the time when I...

My russian tortoise that I got a month ago has developed a new habit of biting. I've thought before that he's just hungry and I have juice residue on my fingers, but he chooses my finger easily over food. When I put my finger in front of him, he opens wide and I shove some kale in the hole, it's...

Do Russians need other tortoise companions? I can easily provide companionship for my Russian that I got two days ago, but is a mate/buddy necessary?

Single and ready to mingle Hey guys, I brought home my first tortoise yesterday! His name is Reggie and-anyways, a thought occurred to me. Does he need a mate to have a long and healthy life? I can easily provide companionship for him, but does he need another tortoise buddy? Thanks.
