Hi tortoise lovers. This is my first post on the forum. So I got a juvenile Russian tortoise yesterday(Monday). He is VERY shy. I tried to put my hand in the enclosure to move around his items he messed up. He made like a hissing sort of noise. He also make that noise when I am near him. I then tried to give him some Romain lettuce and carrots but he walked in it and refused to eat it. When should I start handling him? How should I handle him without stressing him out? What type of foods should I try to feed him? Thanks!![emoji173]️
I will upload some pics of him. I know the enclosure is small, he will only be in it for about 1-2 weeks max. I am currently building him a lot bigger enclosure.
