A new hide, log, make a burrow, safe food item never given yet. Just a few ideas.


Another idea, and addition of size to the enclosure.

I already shopped for my russian tortoise's gifts :) I got her three succulents from Walmart. A type of seedum, a new type of aloe she hasn't had before, and a plant called "string of buttons." I think they still have them. I got all three for around $8. My sister is also getting her a new plant as well. I think plants are a good decision because you can feed them to the tortoise, and/or use them for décor in the enclosure.

I agree with plants, of course with some you will have to wait while chemicals get cleaned out unless you start seeds yourself. A living lettuce (has roots still) from the grocery store is another idea. Some clips (like you use to close up chip bags), so you can hang some of her greens leaves up, so she has to reach for them.

Thanks guys! Those are super ideas! I'm now planning to hint down a few tortoise safe plants and I'm even thinking of inserting a patch of grass in her enclosure! :)
