    My Russians are mating... they are both males!

    Thats what I thought =) The weird thing is that when Oliver is on top of Winnie, he has his mouth wide open, tongue hanging out, and is making that squeeking noise! So this must mean he is being mean to Winnie and they need to be separated?

    My Russians are mating... they are both males!

    When I purchased my torts they said one was a female and the other male. After doing some research I discovered they are both males according to their tails, but now they are mating. I checked online and it is for sure what they are doing. Is it possible for a female to have a tail that looks...

    How often should my tortoise go poo?

    I am having the same problem. Neither one of mine has gone yet and i have had Winnie for 8 days and Oliver for 6 days. Wish I had an answer for you. They both poo'd in the boxes coming home from the store, but nothing since. They just finally started eating good a few days ago though...

    Can Russians live in the same enclosure?

    I am keeping them inside; unfortunately I do not have a yard at this time and I live in ND so they wouldn't be able to be out for the whole year. I built them a 3x3 enclosure for now until they get bigger. I have two hides in there right now. Should I put more?[hr] Thanks for the help...

    Can Russians live in the same enclosure?

    Yes, it is big enough for awhile... I just built them a 3x3 enclosure. Thanks, I will watch for those things. They were together at the pet store before I bought them. I have had Winnie for six days and Oliver for four days. Neither one of them are hardly eating yet though so its hard to tell if...

    Can Russians live in the same enclosure?

    I am just wondering if it is ok for me to have my two Russians in the same enclosure? I have read that they can be aggressive. Mine supposedly came from the same batch but one is smaller than the other and i am worried that maybe the larger of the two (Oliver) could be mean to the smaller...

    New enclosure!

    I built my babies a new enclosure... I think they like it! They still have not eaten very well, and I am super paranoid about that. I hope they adapt soon. Winnie has only eaten twice, and not very much at all... Oliver has eaten once, but neither of them want to eat today.[hr] I cant get any...

    My new Russian tortoise wont eat

    Thanks for telling me that. The temp in the enclosure is about 90 under the basking light and about 70 in the cooler spot. Right after i posted this I cut up the romaine into much smaller pieces and added carrott, apple, and fresh green beans. The one I got 3 days ago ate a little tiny bit...
