I have two small leopards (4.5 and 5 inches) that I keep on newspaper.

They sometimes eat the newspaper, but it seems that if I feed them a little more, they quit eating the newspaper. I've taken newspaper eating as a sign that these slowly growing torts need more food.

I'm not sure if this applies to your russian. I've never seen my russians (including hatchlings) eating substrate, but I don't watch them that closely. But try giving him a little more food and see if that works.
