I would love some advice. I'm new to the forum (and excited to see this forum !!
I have had a three-toed box for 29 years -- she's amazing (rescue). AND I just rescued a Russian Tort. I have observed the tort for over three weeks and it's healthy. Both turtles seem healthy happy and active . They are both in a huge pen (with all kinds of interesting things) outside with fresh live plants and each has the type of food they require. This is new for the Tort so I need to keep an eye on him to be sure he's eating enough-- but can I keep them together? The pen is very large and I plan to bring them inside soon as well (large pen). My box turtle loves having company -- and she loves her water bowl and rain. Do tortoises love rain as well? I would think so... he was thrilled to be in the sun (he has many basking options and chose to sit in the sun .
Thoughts?? Thank you!!
