Russian Tortoise Book Review

This is a great resource and a wonderful book for any tortoise owner to have!

Wonderfully informative book

My nine-year-old son and I read this book together and found it to be a wonderful resource for information on Russian tortoises. The book is full of useful info -- very thorough, but it was easy enough for anyone new to this species (like us!) to understand. We also really enjoyed the photos. We'd recommend this title to anyone thinking about buying a Russian tortoise.

Great resource!

I really enjoyed this book! We have a new Russian Tortoise and needed a beginner's guide of how to house, feed and care for our tortoise. The pictures are wonderful in the book and the author took the time to point out different thoughts, controversial ways and the "why's" of caring for your tortoise when it's not in its natural habitat. I would recommend this book to those wanting to know more about their new pet. My children enjoyed the pictures and the chapters are thorough, yet not exhaustive. For the family needing more than what the pet store gives you, this book is the perfect solution.
