 Mine is like that too
by: Dez

My Russian tortoise, I just got him yesterday but he keeps burrowing in the corner and I covered the outside of the walls of the clear plastic rubbermaid he is in with colored paper so he would feel more safe. He seems to like to borrow a lot though. I do have a shelter for him.

To the last poster. Please take your pet to the vet. It has an eye infection and needs medication.

 Glass

Tortoises don't do glass. Cover the glass and you'll see much less bumping into the sides.

 about this
by: Anonymous

It seems like every time my russian tortoise eats she will turn around and pee in the food bowl. but when she pees some thing white comes out does this happens to yours or is it a sign of illness

 mine does the same
by: Anonymous

1. yes, they try to burrow, make a small house for them for a shelter
2. is the habitat made of glass? they have very bad perception and try to walk through it. Also russians are very active, try taking it out of the habitat to walk around he room for a while, keep a close eye
3. they tend to eat across the bowl and end up in the bowl in the end, just make sure that if your russian poops or pees to thoroughly clean the bowl
4. i'm not sure about the last question, my russian does all of the others but has never seen his reflection before, i would think that the tortoise thinks that there is another tortoise and wants to say hi, i would get rid of the reflection by covering it with paper or a blanket
