diet for a russian

Hello! I was wondering if tortoises could have store bought dandelion greens? I’ve seen them at the store and was wondering if they are good for Russian Tortoises. Thanks!

I got my Russian Einstein back in October and he seems to be doing well. He's still putting on weight (102g from 45g in Nov) , acting normal, and no signs of pyramiding. Just wanted to ask a few misc questions and see if I can get some advice. 1. Substrate - I see a lot of advice on substrate...

Hey there! So I’ve had a problem with getting my Russian tortise to eat anything besides lettuce. He refuses to eat anything besides that, he will dead sprint twords the lettuce but will leave anything else. And we have tried multiple foods that people say that they love he is just refusing. I’m...

I am looking for good vegetables to feed my Russian Tortoise. I have the Tortoise Table app but most of the safe foods have issues. I currently feed my tortoise Romaine Lettuce and Dandelion Greens (With Sprinkled Calcium and Vitamins). I want to give him a more larger diet. The foods I found...

I have two and have had them 2 years. Both healthy and checked by the vets. They have a large open top enclosure, each with correct bulbs that I change every 6 months and I’ve not had any issues with the tortoises so far. I went on holiday and my sister looked after them and they were both...

My russian tortoise is a 2 year old (ish) male. He's usually very active in the mornings and goes out in search of food, but for the past week, maybe week and a half, I have had to encourage him to come out of his burrow to eat something, and then once he's eaten he goes right back to his burrow...

Hey all. For the past few years I've been getting the Tortoise Supply Herbal Hay for my russian tortoise, but with everything going on recently (and I feel like the herbal hay itself got more expensive?) it's been getting harder to fit it into my budget, so I've been looking into alternatives. I...

Hi everyone! I’ve had this succulent for a few months now- not sure exactly what kind but was wondering if my Russian tortoise could enjoy it.

Hello! Below I've attached some pictures--my Russian tort Ivan, who I've had for around 4 or 5 years, and what his poops have been looking like recently. For the past couple of weeks, his poops have been coming out in these small "nuggets" rather than continuous, larger pieces. At first I...

So here in Ohio it's October and I just brought Gary into his tortoise table for the winter. I do not hibernate him as he is my only Russian and I do not intend to do any breeding. Ever since Gary has been put outside I've noticed a lot of grass in his stool. I know they are typically not grass...

I have bought a Horsefield Tortoise which the lady in the shop thought was about 6 months old, his shell is about 2.5 inches long, cutest little guy! Please can I get some advice on what to feed him as well as how much and how often. I've read so much info which contradicts itself, feeling very...

I live in PA and have a decent sized yard. My store only really has endive and kale, so I have taken to foraging to supplement my russian tortoise's diet. What are these following plants and can she eat them? Thank you for your time and patience.

Hi, I copy and pasted this from a thread I posted on about my tortoise's nails. My tortoise is a three and a half year old russian female. Is this a good diet: Kale, dandelion (flowers not too often), field madder, creeping jenny, small amounts of clover, some flukers pellets (don't like them...
