There are two Russian Tortoises in Minnesota they look really rough and look like they need a good home. Heres the description of both.

Mienke is a male Russian tortoise who is about 20 years old. He and his buddy JoJo were surrendered by their previous owner, who moved. Mienke and JoJo are quiet, calm, friendly tortoises who like to be massaged and warmed up when held. These tortoises need a warm, moist environment, such as a terrarium. They eat fruits and veggies every other day and need a water bowl. Calcium and vitamin drops are recommended to supplement their diet.

Where are these Russians coming from? Aren't they all sleeping back east? There aren't any out here right now.

I don't hibernate mine - our climate is too wet, it is just asking for them to drown or get sick.

Poor babies. Someone needs to tell them to stop giving the fruit. That poor big ole girl has some wicked MBD going on, too.

I hope they find a good home too. I am glad that there are rescues out there to help animals in need. As the previous post stated, they should not be eating fruit.

Hi Turtleman:

This thread was about a re-posted ad. The tortoise isn't for sale by any of our members. You can click on the link in the first post and get the info about the seller.
