Hey everyone,
I am a new Russian tortoise owner. I have done a lot of research on tortoises and fell in love with the Russians. I recently bought a Russian, Angus. Angus is really shy and wary of me. I have been taking him out of his tank and letting him walk around the room while I clean or just play on my laptop. Although he walks right up to my cat to check her out, he runs away from me (well as fast as a tortoise can run). I have no idea how to get him socialized and I have no idea if I am doing it right or not. If experienced owners could let me know how they socialized their tortoises and their own methods on how they did it, that would be fantastic!
