Reference picture of what I'm going to do this summer. I'm going to dig down and burry the blox for a later or two I know he's going to eventually dig his little heart out when he's bored.

Has anyone here had luck with keeping weeds in their tortoise habitat. I figure each incloser would be different but I was wondering if I should even bother trying. I live in Pennsylvania so when spring comes around I wanna attempt to keep the enclosure full off different weeds and grasses. My...

My Russian hate them too I'll deff have to change it up. I kinda thought that maybe he just prefers lettuce and ect. But now I know it's the wrong food. I learn new things everyday on this forum I'm glad I joined!!!

Yep I think that's the brand your right

Interesting I'm going to look into the tortoise carriers for Petco if I remember correctly thier shipper was ..... something rodent. the reptiles and frozen mice would come together separate boxes but I always thought that was interesting

Ok that makes more sense to me I didn't realize that there was a difference. Do the wild caught ones actually come from Russia? I wonder what his life was before I got him

I also learned that the uv bulb I have can hurt his eyes (it's a swirly one) so I'm going to switch that out asap

Just read over both forums they were both super helpful. I don't think these are grass land tortoise pellets so I'm going to switch these out and I also agree that Tank is probably alot older than I assumed. I also think I need to be adding more calcium I add cuddle bone pieces to his veggies...

These are his pellets I wanna say they are mazuri or zoo med I can't exactly remember I don't have them in the same packaging. W.e. these are he deff does not like them. Also sorry for the late reply. I'm going to read more into all the cmts now

So how much Roman lettuce should I be feeding my tortoise a day? Hes I wanna say 2 years old, about a half a foot. I got him from a pet store. They we're feeding him Timothy hay also so should I be feeding him that along side the veggies and pellets?

Thank you guys!!:) Btw his name is Tank I forgot to add that

Should I switch his bedding to something cleaner? I'm currently using ecoearth I've been debating on switching him to wood chips.

Very thero much appreciated

Any advice on cleaning him properly other than soaking him? I've been thinking about getting turtle wax from Petco and seeing if that helps too.

And good his shell was really concerning me

Weeds? Any in particular? I live in Pennsylvania so we have a wide variety here. Also when you say dark leafy do u mean things like spinach, chard, arugala?

Oh and green and red peppers he loves those

I got this guy from Petco a few months ago. I've seen tons of pictures of Russians and their shells look so beautiful. My little man how ever is more of a dark brown, his shell scales are slightly indented, and kinda chippy. I feed him tortise pellets (rainbow color I don't remember the name)...
