IVAN IS PENDING ADOPTION - WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY MORE APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME FOR THIS PET
Hi! My name is Ivan!
I was found by a good samaritan and dropped off at a local pet store who transferred me to the rescue. Unfortunately, many families don't take the necessary precautions to ensure that we wake up from hibernation and come out in the same hard we went asleep in. If you are considering adopting me, you will need to take those precautions so I don't get lost again :)
So a little bit about me, I'm a vegetarian and I love the outdoors. Having a safe indoor enclosure is an option but if you are willing to build an appropriate and safe enclosure outside, I will thrive there too! The rescue has all the information you will need to set either one up for me.
I don't know my age but we are assuming that I am between 10 and 20 years old due to my size. I can live more than 50 years if I have a lean, high-fiber diet and a low-stress environment with the right temps and light. Bringing me into your family is a lifelong commitment, for both of us!
I’m bashful, shy, introverted, timid, and coy but I like to chill with my people sometimes as well. You can learn more about my needs here > https://www.lllreptile.com/articles/51-russian-tortoise/
