Just joined not to long ago.

I have a 7 year old Russian named Lily, that I have had for almost 6 months.

She was a rescue that I have spoiled.

Lily knows she spoiled, it's really cute.

She loves dandelion flowers, carrots, and apples.

Hi Elizabeth, and welcome!!!

Your Lily looks like a Hermanni to me. Let's ask @HermanniChris . I have a hard time distinguishing between the Hermanns and the Greek - at any rate, it is NOT a Russian.

Welcome from another Russian tortoise owner. Lily is adorable.

Have you read our care sheet for Russians? http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/russian-tortoise-care-sheet.80698/

I hate to bring this up on your first day but fruit is not good for Russians. Their digestive systems can't handle the sugars. I'm sure Lily loves them but she needs to be on leafy greens and weeds.

I do know this she only gets then as a one a month treat. If she sees me eating one she will just stare at me.
