Yes, but...a group of male Russians? Is that the plan? I 🤔 am wondering if it's not risky?

Thinking the same... Some Russians are best alone, most male Russians can't handle each other at all. But I am sure @EppsDynasty has a backup plan

We are hoping for a great group of males that tolerate each other with no real issues, but we will also have individual pens for trouble makers. We think that if possible having groups will be a better living experience for our torts. We plan on doing this with all our torts except our DT's, they are not a social species of tort in our opinion and research. We want all of our members to have the most enriched and best Life possible here.

Interesting. For some reason I thought Russians were some of the least social tortoises…

They may be in fact not as social but we want to offer it to our torts and allow the ones that can get along with others that life option.

Such heartbreak .... If we had the money we WOULD save these.
