I just received a Russian Tortoise as a gift and I need to know how to take care of it. I've never had anything like this. Also, do you soak the tortoise daily?

: Dandelion greens are good for them. Just don't feed them IceBerg lettuce. Lacks Nutrients. AlFalfa is a good substrate for them. Not wood chips. Woodchips can get mites and spread very fast. Plus they can eat the Alfalfa. Its good for them.

: Good Luck!! (They love Romaine Lettuce!!)My webpage on tortoises is below.
