We are looking for a new family member and I'm not sure which kind would best suit out family. I had been researching Russian Torts and found that they would be a great fit; but the more I read, the Hermann Tort may be a good fit as well? I'd like to get some feedback on what the best match would be for us...
We live in Southern California. I have a 5 1/2 year old who will be helping me take on the responsibility so I'd like a tort breed that is friendly. I'd like to get a yearling so I plan on having them inside until mature enough for outdoor activity. We do plan on having an outdoor area just for them when ready and we are starting a little garden for ourselves so i plan on growing our own food for them.
I'm not set on a spacific breed yet...I just want to make sure we get the right one for us and where we live! I've done some research but any insight on what we need and want would be appreciated. I'm still researching and want to make sure we have all the insight we need before we find our new family member and bring him/her home.
