Hello! I'm a recently graduated zoologist. I bought two 1.5 yo Russian tortoises.. They are Shelly and Turbo. After a few days, I adopted another tortoise from a kid.. It's a bit older (don't know it's exact age). It's name is Oogway. It has a little nail polish and glitter on it too. I'm trying to remove it with water but it's no use. I don't wanna use alcohol or acetone as it might affect it's health. Please tell me if you have any suggestions regarding the paint.
I have also made them a habitat with potting soil and little pool.

I came to this forum because it answers all of my questions.. As a pet owner, it really worries me if my tortoises are getting proper and enough diet.
I'm feeding them lettuce and a little bit of cucumber with powdered cuttlebone. They don't eat cuttlebone directly.

Are they in the same enclosure? If so they should be separated as soon as possible. Those are some great looking torts! :)

Why? A trio of 1.5 year olds is pretty likely to get along. There could be issues, but its not like a pair… And its already too late for quarantine...
