Newbie Russian Tortoise Owner

ejw Jul 16, 2004 03:10 PM

Hey All,

My vet recommended this site because I received a Russian Tortoise as a gift from a friend and I've gotten a lot of conflicting info as to what is needed for a proper indoor enclosure (size, bedding, heating, etc). I've never had any type of pet other than a cat before now, so any help is really appreciated.

Thanks,

EJ
