Hello! I am a new Russian Tortoise owner and need help! My tortoise was shipped from Florida.
I had done research for a year and got everything set up, both indoor (for sleeping quarter at night) and outdoor habitat in the garden as another cute decoration.
So the tortoise arrived, and it pooped a lot at first. I thought maybe he was full before he was shipped. A day later, I gave him the greens, dandelions, also he is free to roam in the garden enclosure to soak in sun all day. It didn’t seem to eat a lot. Or maybe I didn’t see? Maybe should I keep him indoor with some food to see if he eats?
I fell in love with the cute tortoise and I want him to start his new life with our family on the right foot!
Thanks for advice!
