Pop’s Turtle of the Month – Russian Tortoise

April 14, 2017
Posted by sreptilesnicky

Russian Tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii)

The Russian Tortoise is a great pet to start with, as they are known to be one of the strongest and hardier of tortoise species. These animals are going on the smaller side of tortoise species, only reaching 8-10 inches fully grown adults. This makes them a wonderful pet to house throughout their lifetime.

Russian Tortoises have an outstanding personality, not shying away from food and readily coming up to you to eat. They are commonly active, exploring their enclosure and showing interesting burrowing behaviors. They are resistant to extreme temperature changes, as they can take both cold and warm weather.

Being grazing herbivores, they love to snack on weeds (leaves and flowers), grasses, and leafy plants.
