Well, I just picked the thing apart with some toothpicks. I think it might be grass. She has quite a bit of long grass growing in her enclosure; I planted the Russian tortoise seed mix from Carolina Pet Supply as well as a few types of weeds I transplanted. Anyways, what do you guys think? Grass?
So today my roughly 5 inch female Russian pooped this. It's so long! It'd be about the same size as her if it was straight. I don't know if this is normal. What could be the cause? She's outside all day and sleeps indoors. She has a pretty well varied diet of weeds that she grazes on at will but...
I'm crazy and need confirmation from you guys that this is mallow? Assuming my transplant doesn't continue to fail ;p ignore the snail slime all around it.
I thought this picture turned out kind of cute ;P I think it perfectly illustrates spring: new growth everywhere, sun, and Herschel's first rose of the season!
The fish are great. We move into our house in the late spring a few years ago after the house was vacant for two years. The pool was FULL of fish, and no mosquitos!
Herschel's rough looking (I know...it's not the prettiest haha, the frost killed A LOT of plants) outdoor pen more than doubled in size today. The little lady's getting big! We're slowly ripping up the entire old deck and converting it into her pen; it was very old and needed replacing anyways...
Hey guys, haven't posted in a while! My (I believe) female Russian has finally reached a pretty good size and I was wondering if she's still looking female. Her tail is still really stubby, but she does kind of hold it to the side sometimes. I'm amazed at how fast she's grown. Looking generally...
I was thinking dandelion, I just have never noticed a milky sap with dandelion before. But I think Tom's right in saying it's part of the same group. I'll probably feed it.
