Looks yummy!

Is that Calcium sprinkled on the food? If it is I don't think I use nearly enough.

Calcium neutrobol and a vitamin D powder lol. Maybe I jst use too much?

Lol!! I love it when they munch down. Torts eating is just about the cutest thing ever :-)

That's the cutest!!! I can't seem to get a good pik of mine with his mouth open. He's just too quick! Little fatty ha.

Thank you for sharing the yummy pics

That's Tessi my female Russian, she is a pig and will do anything for a little pepper. You have one super cute little meatball yourself. I read some of your other posts and u sound just like me lol. I am new to tort ownership and I worry about my torts all the time. I am learning that they do what they want when they want to, so unless they look sick, they are probably just fine:-)

She is very cute!!! How many do you have?? I'm such a worrier!! I'm hopeless haha. I feel like a mother to a new baby! I actually cried the night after I got him as I was worried incase I wasn't doing the right things for him haha. He seems generally happy, he eats like a pig, poops once or twice every other day, and drinks and wees everyday. He has plenty space to run around as his enclosure is 4x2 so a lot of room for him to explore!! I'm just in love with him and want him to have the best care possible!

Cute tort!! I know how you feel about being a worried mom. But let me tell you, once you see those new growths you will feel so proud and amazingly happy!!

I only have two Russian torts, for now ;-). I have lots of ambition though. Your little guy sounds like a lucky little tort with such a caring mother, I'm sure he will be very happy. We can keep each other posted, maybe that will help keep us from worrying way to much :-)

That sounds like a fab idea!! I'm new to all of this so worry quite a bit!! I love torts though! Can I ask what kind of enclosure you keep yours in? And how do you maintain humidity for them? Also, do you turn the heat emmiter off on a night??

I just finished moving them to their new table last week. It has an open top so I maintain humidity by keeping the coco choir substrate moist with a mister bottle. Russians prefer to b cool at night so I do not have any night time heat. It drops to about 65-70F. Look at my previous posts. I have lots of pics of the new tat :-)

Ohh I see. Mine is kept in a vivarium, solid wood with a glass front, he can't see out tho the glass starts pretty high up. I've read good and bad things about vivs but I suppose everyone has a preference and opinion. I live in the north east of England where it's really cold during winter, and my house generally gets cold on a night so I turn his emitter down to around 15degrees C but always keep it on for him. I've only had him a week So I think he's still getting used to his new crib lol. I'm using tortoise life as a subtrate ATM but have been told about choir, could I get some of that and just put it in an area in his viv to keep moist? Is it best to have the warmer side humid??
