- In this video I build my Russian Tortoise Diego a new home. Diego’s new home is the proper tortoise enclosure, they should never be in a tank. Diego is beginning to eat good and is enjoying his new home living the life he deserves 🐢🥬.
The Adventures Continue…

I give my tortoises strawberrys every once in a while, and they still eat their kale and lettuce and other greens. I think the baby is just a picky little guy, lol
I absolutely love his new home 🏡...👀💚🐢
You can get a swiveling light stand that will be much more convenient than what came with the cage stock. It allows you to open up the cage top more.
So glad to see your video.
Good you're moving up, but even that new enclosure is close to being too small.
That last one was terribly small. Only good for hatchling to yearling of that species.
How old is he? Hows this enclosure as far as mold?
@@nationsmostwanted I’ve had him for about 3 years. I haven’t had any mold so far.
I’ve got that exact set up for my baby hermannes tortoise , beautiful little enclosures mind think I paid £90 for mine , Herman is only 7 month old got him for my 4yr old daughter she loves him
Hopefully this isn’t the permanent habitat
This will be his home for a while but it won’t be his permanent home 👍
What’s a nice size enclosure for this turtle??
@@lilkey_1547 at the very least bare minimum 4ft by 2ft
No fckin shit? Yall deadass cant help urself from hating like tf
@@JosephsJungle8but 6 foot is recommended
I’ve definitely considered getting one of these setups. They look great! But, if you do a Google search for ‘what size terrarium should I get a Russian tortoise, most answers recommend at least a 40 gallon tank…Is this that size?
As we know, many things are made in China for us consumers. I did a Google search for ‘40 gallon terrariums’ and the results are much less expensive (from their own websites) than what’s marketed on popular State side sources…
It’s a 39.4 x 24 x 12.4 so it’s around the 40 gallon range. I don’t recommend buying a glass tank for a tortoise because they scrape the glass since they can see outside the tank. I bought this setup off Amazon for about 100$. This habit is a good start but you may have to get something bigger so they have more space to move around👍
😂
Hey what do you use for substrate?
I use coconut husk chips, but I’m moving to a mix of sand and organic soil substrate which you can make yourself. This helps them be able to burrow easier.
Is this the enclosure you can get off Amazon??
Yes
Hi there. Im considering getting a Russian. Is Diego an import or captive bred in US? If captive, do you recommend a breeder?
Hi thanks for commenting, I got Diego from Petsmart. I heard they used to sell wild caught tortoises but I think they are all captive bred now. Getting one from a good breeder would be the best choice👍
@@delta_bass_catching they caught them from the wild you should get Captain bread😢
He got from Petsmart the guy from the wild😢
Where did you buy that?
Amazon, it’s called Aivituvin Wooden Tortoise House
How much it's it cost?
I got it for $100 but it’s currently on sale for about $70.
Was it a wild caught Russian tortoise?
I believe it is a captive bread
Jess that’s really smooth for a captive bred. How long have you had it?
@@Bowserthetortoise almost two years
Diego looks like dinner 😮💨
Diego is a pet
I really dont think russian tortoise drinks water
You’re right he gets it from the leafy greens but sometimes he does. The water is just in there for him to soak in.
@@delta_bass_catching : mate if your tortoise isn’t eating starve him for 2-3 days he’ll soon jump back to regular food they used to … also a nice flat rock would look awesome under that light
Turtles need a habitat much bigger and should stay outside. Its just like a human in a small prison cell coming from a very small cell. Put aat least some sand and small rocks inside.
