Hey everyone My name is Matthew. I am from San Jose,CA. I am a recently new owner to a female Russian tortoise. I have had her about three months and trying to learn as much as I can. the pet store thought she was maybe 30 years old. shes about 8inches long. I built a nice sized outdoor enclosure for her (about 4feet wide by 7 feet long) I do let her out for a few hours in the late afternoon when I am home from work so she can walk around the yard and graze on weeds. She has been to the vet for a check up and had a parasite so I am currently treating her for that with the prescribed meds. Have been starting to think about what to do for winter housing. I was leaning towards keeping her inside the house for the winter and using lighting and heat to keep her going and not allow her to hibernate this winter since she hasn't been healthy. If anyone has suggestions about important things I should know that I may not know already feel free to let me know
Thanks!
