So last week my mother and brother found a turtle thing as they were doing some yard work. We have lived here about thirty years and have never seen a shelled creature, plus we live near Seattle so were pretty confused by our new arrival. My brother did some quick research and discovered it was a Russian tortoise. We made a little enclosure for it in the back yard, but recently we moved it to our greenhouse and it seems happy there, I have done a little research on what they eat, but it has only really eaten the iceberg lettuce we gave it and loves the green beans from our garden. We have put a shallow water tray out but I don't think any of us has seen it in the water. We know we have much to improve, but we are cat people and have always been cat people - ironically our two are Russian blues - and don't really know what to do from here.
(I am severely hanicapped so mostly my mother and brother interact with it. Also I am slow to respond)
Doesn't appear to be in poor health at all. We have no idea of the age or sex.
