My Russian Tortoise hasn't been outside in quite sometime because it's winter and I know he loves being outside. And today is one of the nicer days so I was just wondering if 46 degrees F is too cold for him. It's not too cold for me, but that's because I've been use to 20 degree days. I'd love...
I have a Russian Tortoise named Kirby. :tort:
I got him sometime in October. Since then, all he ever does is dig or sleep. I put him on his basking spot at around lunch time everyday because if I don't he'll just stay under his substrate stuff. It's winter time where I live so I'm guessing...
I got him maybe about 2 or 3 weeks ago. He seems to be doing fine but he literally sleeps ALL day. I was just wondering if that's normal or not. All I have in his habitat is about 5 inches of coconut coir, and some mulch mixed in (cypress). And the water and food bowl and all that. But, if I...
My mom gave me a ton of apple peels and some cabbage (and a piece of a carrot). Can I feed those to my Russian Tortoise? I just want to make sure before I let him eat any of it. If not, what should I be feeding him? I just got him last Friday and I've been feeding him Romaine lettuce. He hasn't...
I've been thinking about getting into breeding Russian Torts. Not really for the money aspect, at all. But more of the fact that I love RT's. How much does it cost to get that sort of thing going? I might be interested in other breeds too.. Not sure yet.
The only thing I have so far is the large black container. Obviously it'll be bigger than the one in the picture and everything will be more spaced out. But I just wanted to do a rough drawing to see if I'm even close on the setup.
Let me know what you think and excuse my drawing skills :p
I'm getting a Russian Tortoise soon (I've posted in some other categories as well) and I just wanted to know what kind of food Russian Torts eat. I know they like greens. But I need to know an exact diet to follow and how often to feed the little guy. I'll be getting my tortoise from Petsmart...
I'll be getting a Russian Tortoise very soon and I wanted to know what kind of substrate to you. Would play sand and organic soil be okay? I live in Pennsylvania. It will be an inside habitat. Also, do these guys smell? The habitat I mean. If so, is there a certain substrate/cleaning technique I...
I need to actually do research on them before I get one. I already went through that with my Red Sliders. But anyway, could someone tell me a good habitat setup? Like, what kind of soil mixture should I use, how often do I need to clean it out, and will it attract tons of bugs (it will be in my...
