I teach first grade and was recently gifted two tortoises in a large tank. After doing a bit of research and talking to the folks at PetCo, I believe they are Russian Torties – both male. I’ve had them for two weeks now and the kids and I have just settled on the names Mike and Sulli (Monster’s Inc).
I have so many questions!!! I read someplace that having two males is not advisable please fill me in!! Also, is there any way to tell how old my boys are? One is significantly larger than the other so I presume there is an age difference. How long does it take for a young tortie to reach full size? What do I need to know to keep the guys healthy? I know that I am at least their third home in the last 2-3 months so I don’t know how well they were cared for before coming to me. I want to do the best I can for them.
