Is a 2 1/2 x 4' enclosure big enough?

4' x 2'6" is too small for an adult Russian. An adult needs 4'x8' minimum. (You might get away with 4'x6')

It's not ideal, but it will do for the rest of this winter, and you can be working on your outdoor yard for him in the meantime.

The problem is that I really can't make a outdoor enclosure because our backyard we have 2 hunting dogs and w
Will kill and destroy any thing that moves and in the front lawn my dad puts fertilizer so I'm mean I don't know where to put him except in doors so I guess I will have to make him a bigger one

I agree you don't have much choice. Either you negotiate with your parents for a secure, fertiliser free area in the front or back. Or you build a proper size enclosure indoors - which will probably require negotiations too.

You need to sit down with your parents and work out what you can do for this tortoise. You may have to cut a deal that involves a lot of effort for you.
