: I Put Tully in a box of potting soil so she could dig and she has covered herself
: with the dirt I was wondering if I should just leave her alone or after awhile
: take her out and will she be ok staying under there for a long period of time?
: thanks for all the help Kyra

Potting soil is not good. russians like to eat the
white balls(perlite)This can cause intestinal problems.
Mine live to burrow into a pile of timothy hay. You can
get it at most pet shops that sell rabbit supplies.
Alfalfa also works but timothy is easier to dig into.
How big is your tort?
