Hi

Welcome - but tortoises (and ESPECIALLY Russian tortoises) neither want nor need a friend. Tortoises are territorial and will fight, sometimes to the death of one of them, to chase a second tortoise out of the territory.

Finally got him Saturday and got his cage built today. I felt so bad with what the last owner had him in
