Hello everyone,
This morning I agreed to take a female Russian tortoise on a trial basis.
I already have a female CA desert tortoise. She stays inside at night and goes outside in a 9x9 enclosure during the day.
Due to the size of the Russian and my lack of space indoors I would like to keep the Russian in that same 9x9 outside enclosure 24/7.
Ive heard things about keeping a male and female in the same enclosure and how that can be bad for the health of the female. I've also heard about two males being kept together and how they can hurt/ kill one another.
What I haven't found is information on two females of two different species.. Can they share a 9x9 foot enclosure for approx. 8 hours a day?
I really want to make this work and I'm nervous now that it won't or that I shouldn't try.
Any advice?
Thanks
