We are ....you guessed it, down in the Keys again.  Holiday weekend coming up so we took off early and are not going back to work until Tuesday the 9th!  

We are so over this thing called "work" and we just don't give a damn about our patients anymore.  OK, that was a little harsh, but we are just about ready to end this part of our life.  Will be done just prior to the end of this year and then we are officially "old farts".  Even more funny, on the way down yesterday we stopped at a McDonald's to let the dogs out and pee.  Decided to eat and ordered a chicken value meal and a wrap.  Wife and I shared the fries and the one drink. The bill for the two of us came to just over $8.  I told her we are getting to be just like all the other old folks in Florida.  Wife said she wouldn't sit with me if I ordered a senior coffee.

 

The SUV was packed to the gills.  Besides the usual supplies and cooler, had the two dogs and a large dresser for the bedroom.  Also had to find room for a new temporary addition.  A tortoise!  Wife bought that to give to her grandson for his birthday.  I guess that's better than the cat she was originally planning to give.  I'm going to have to seek help from @Ontarkie on proper care of a tortoise.  It's a very young Russian Dwarf tortoise.  Hopefully the family will take decent care of him.

I'm not expert on Russian Tortoises, but I don't think dwarf tortoises exist. Russians tortoises are escape artistes. This is the forum I learned update care information. Stay off of Fb and YT for care information. Most of those places have been regurgitating the same out dated information and it does more harm then good. 

https://tortoiseforum.org/  Now they can sometimes come across harsh and the overload of information can be overwhelming on there but if whoever takes care of it puts the time in they will have a very happy tortoise experience. 

 

Where did your wife get it from and how big is it? Most Russian tortoises in the pet stores are wild caught and at least 5 yrs old. Care for a baby is quite different then an adult. 

Good thig about a Russian tortoise is they are hardy and can live indoors in any state unlike some others.

Wife got this Russian tortoise from a breeder here in FL.  He(?) is fairly small, a little less than 2 inches in diameter.  I'm doing some research and learning as much as I can.  This little one burrows and hides away during the day but after work we get him out in the sun and warmth and he comes around.  Loves spring mix salad and dark green romaine lettuce.  He has small pellets of food but doesn't show any interest in that.

That's great so he needs a closed enclosure it retains heat and humidity the best. 

 

Check out that forum I linked. It will give you the most up to date care guides for the little one. Also they have plenty of pictures to build your own closed enclosure. Or you can buy some PVC enclosures. They are really nice and for a small one like yours much more practical.
