Hello I am new here and I have russian tortise. I am thinking of building a ramp on my tortises enclosure that has a platform on it. Any idea about what the angle or slope of the ramp should be that my tirtise would be able to climb? much appreciated!

Hello! I did the exact same thing for my Russian tortoise. You need a 1:2 ratio of rise to length. For every inch high the rise is, you need 2 inches of length. For example, if the difference in height is 10 inches, the length of the ramp needs to be at least 20 inches long.
I hope this helps!
