I'm in the northern Utah area, and I'm looking to purchase a Russian Tortoise preferably just a few years old.i would like to buy from a breeder who knows what they're doing.
Oh. I wasn't aware of this. I read that because they were naturally wanderers, that they should. Thanks for letting me know. Especially since his cage is so small.
