We inherited a Russian T. a year ago and her best friend, an Eastern Box Turtle. They have been together for over 25 years (I was told.) I share our kale, spinach, pineapple sage, and spring mix salad with Svetlana and because, like yours, she doesn’t seem to want to head into the water trays we have for them both, I add about 1/2 inch of water to the pie tin I serve her daily food in. She often crawls through it to eat and gets her belly wet at the same time.
I do not want to hijack this thread, but you may want to give these a read, and get them separated. This is not healthy or enjoyable for either of them.



Please remember that these are solitary, territorial animals with primitive brains that biologically cannot love or seek friendship.
