Hi congrats. on your russian. They are good torts. I have a suggestion though its acctually up to you but here it is. Well i have 3 greek(spur thigh tortoises) and i had them on dirt sand mix but you know what works better for the babies. Towels. Get some old towles and put them on the bottom and get timothy hay and put it on half the enclosure. The towels work well since it gives babies grip and they can eat it and get dirt in there stomachs which can cause sickness. Babies tend to eat dirt for some reasone. But its totally up to you on if you want to do this or not, I reccomend it. You can save the dirt till he gets bigger and knows not to eat it.
