Newest Tortoise in the House - Russian Tortoise

[stano40]

Her name is Baby Tatiana. She's just a little thing compared to my sulcata. Of course the house is smaller than the sulcata.

She has taken to her new surroundings just fine. Right now she has a 40 gal enclosure with 2/3rd's timothy hay and 1/3rd soil mixed with some sand. She has a hide box and a bowl of water that fits her, so she can get in and out easily.

She loves digging and sitting in her bowl of water.

I used to have a site with all the herps I have been in contact with but had to discontinue the site:

So in lieu of the site here is a photo of Baby Tatiana:



I read multiple care sheets and every one was about the same. Any advise would be appreciated as this is my first russian.

She is so much fun to watch, especially digging. Allyou can see is her back end sticking out.

Very cool.
Congradulations.
Yes, they are quite different from Sulcatas.
But you'll learn by reading and learn even more as you go.
