Hello everyone! I am a new member to these forums and my name is Barb. We, my partner and myself, are the proud new owners of an 8-year old Russian Tortoise named Alexandra(Alex for short). The previous owner was looking to re-home her because their daughter went away to college and they didn't want to look after her anymore so now she is ours and is our very first tortoise and we are in love with her already

I have several questions but will now take to the forums and get some help!
