HI I lost my Russian Tortoise in my backyard. I have looked and looked. Is it close by or gone for good. How can I find him. Will he live on his own. Thanks
I am so sorry you've lost your Russian Tortoise, they are real escape artists, I know mine have got out of their enclosure a few times. Have you had him in your yard just running around, they usually will go to the same place, they feel comfortable at. Mine all have their favorite hiding places. Usually under a bush, of into a flower garden. They are great diggers and will dig under any soft dirt or leaves under a bush. They usually don't dig under to far, under unless they are ready to hibernate. That's usually not until early November. Recheck all around the perimater of your yard and or where there is a easy place to dig and hide. They like cool quit place that has some shelter for hiding. Good luck and I hope you find him/her soon. Let us know if you do!
