Can I replicate Russian tortoise wild conditions?

[BorisTheWonderTort]

Hello tortoise forum!
I was wondering how close I could replicate their wild environment? Whilst my Russian tortoise hatchling is a hatchling, they would stay in a high humidity Vivarium to supply them with enough moisture for a smooth shell. Substrate would be orchard bark in the Vivarium and then I was wondering if anyone had some cool ideas for Russian tortoise enclosures. Like decoration. I was also wondering if I could find the attached tortoise hide in the uk. It looks nice and big i just can’t find it anywhere wondering if anyone has a link to this log if they know it/have it.

Hi. No, you can't replicate the wild conditions of any animal really, but you can provide as "natural" a habitat as possible by following the appropriate care sheets right here on this forum, for the particular species. @wellington @Tom .
