Been lurking here the last month or so as I prepared the enclosure and soaked up all the information I can about caring for a russian tortoise. Wanted to have everything dialed in and proper! My 10 year old daughter has been saving for most of the year to pay for everything, but I wanted to be 100% sure we understood how to properly take care of it before we bring one home. Also had many long talks about how long the little bugger can live and make sure it's a commitment she's willing to make. Shes been studying as hard as I have, but now I think I'm actually more excited than she is! haha Read through tons of the care sheets and beginners threads. This forum is a wealth of knowledge. Only problem I'm having is finding one locally. I don't want a wild caught one that's been through hell or one from a big name pet store where they don't care for them well enough.
