Vic is spot on. Here in South Texas, summers get very hot, and all Testudo go into a slowed state. Russians are especially prone to this sort of behavior, given the harsh nature of climates in central Asia. Wild russians are reportedly only active for three to four months out of the year, given the climatic extremes. Just make sure the animals have ample shelter so they can have time to themselves, away from the sun and others. And ensure their weights stay up. By fall, your russians will be their usual tenacious selves.
