I am looking for a small tortoise crossing sign either carved into a rock or some sort of wood; something that can stay outside in my tortoise garden and look nice. I am looking for something that is smallish, like ten inches wide and eight inches tall. Everything I have seen is really large...

Beautiful enclosure! Did you dig down where the walls are so your tortoise can't dig underneath and get out? Also, do you have a top to keep out raccoons? Thank you.

Could someone recommend how deep down to go where the fence is? I fenced off a part of my garden, but I am not sure how deep down to go so the tortoise doesn't dig out. Thank you!

Thank you for the great post! The pictures were really helpful and clear. I bought my tortoise about two years ago from a back yard breeder, and I picked it out. At the time, he said it was a girl, so I named it Frida, but from what I see now, I think it is a Freddy! Would you mind taking a look...

Hi there, well, it is finally getting warm, and little Frida is big enough that I feel comfortable putting her outside to live. I found a great spot, but I am unsure about the best type of wire to use to keep out the raccoons. I would like to create some type of top for my enclosure that has a...

Well, yesterday, I did a really stupid thing, and now I am paying the consequences. I left my two year old Russian out in the plastic pool on the patio right near the kitchen door, and went away for an hour. I put my two dogs outside, who never touch the tortoise, to watch out for other...

Thanks so much for your advice. It did make me feel better!

Hi everyone, I purchased a two year old Russian tortoise about two months ago from a man who bred a few in his back yard. The tortoise seems healthy and has clear eyes and a clean beak. It eats quite a bit. I think I have the cage set up pretty well with a mercury vapor bulb at one end of a...

My little two year old Russian tortoise Frida. She loves her dandelions!

Aw so cute!

Welcome! I am pretty new myself and have learned so much in just a few short days.

My little one is doing great! She spent some time outside, ate a bunch, and had a bath today.

Hi, your tortoise is so adorable! What type is it?

This is my little russian Frida. She is two years old.
