Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi
My son Jacob has a love for tortoises and this weekend his dream came true ~ we purchased a baby Russian tortoise for him! He is convinced the baby is a boy and named him Crush.

We purchased Crush from Forum member Carol S and are very grateful to have found her. She spent a lot of time with us going over care for Crush and was very kind. She shared so much knowledge and helpful information with us. We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a Russian tortoise.

Crush is doing great. We are so excited to build new enclosures inside and out based on some of the great ideas we have found on this forum

Hello and welcome. Carol is GREAT! I have 6 of her babies form last year and all are doing great. She starts them very well. I'm sure you got great tips from her, but here is a care sheet I typed up anyway. You can see my babies from Carol in some of the pics.
