Hey there,
So I've been debating getting myself a smaller sized tortoise for a while now, but I need more information before I decide whether or not to jump into this. That being said I have a few questions which I hope can be answered on here
The first is.. which kind? I'm leaning more towards either a Russian tortoise or a Hermann's tortoise.. but I'd love to hear what you guys think. Are Russians much bigger than Hermanns? Which would you say has the "better" personality?
Are these guys communal? Should I be getting more than one or does it matter?
Also.. Where I'm living now would require it to be an indoor pet. I've read that rubbermaid tubs can be used.. Is this acceptable? Should I choose to build one from furniture instead, what is the size requirement for one?
Anything else I should consider?
That's all for now.. Thank you all for the help!
