What do russian tortoises like to do?

[Carol S]

thanks. I do want a tortoise and have been researching for 2 years now. I know they are not affectionate, but they are still friendly. Also, I am getting a tortoise table with a mesh lid and 50/50 soil/ playsand substrate. they will have a water pool, a zoomed basking light and a shady area. They will have the correct food, and will have a soak every week. Thanks, tortoisegirl5

Do not use sand as it can cause impaction plus it is an eye irritant. For hatchlings I like moist coir. When they get older I like moist cypress mulch mixed with moist coir or just plain moist cypress mulch. You can get cypress mulch at petmountain.com for a good price. Make it deep enough so the tortoise can dig and bury themselves in it..
