I'm pretty sure that russian tort's are dry scrubland type torts. Prairie even. I wish I could visit the habitat to know for sure, but ideally, I'd guess that if you wanted to go all out, a compacted dirt/soil would be best with a burrow perhaps predug and reinforced. Hay or long grasses on top of it all would offer cover, bedding, and the occasional snack.

Of course, until this happens at my house, I use wood shavings, with the hay on top.
