    My new little russian tortoise

    Super cute! I have a baby RT too, mine is about 4 months old and about the size of a .50 cent piece. I keep mine in 100% coconut coir and it works well!

    Pip's shell

    Too cold to take her out now, actually it's snowing at the moment, and I don't think Pip would like that...I certainly dont! I am looking forward to having her out in the spring/summer though!!

    Soaks?

    I have a russian tortoise, about 4 months old...and I was wondering if I can soak her too much? I do daily soaks for about 20 minutes, and she seems to really like them. She goes to the bathroom almost during every soak, so it keeps her home much cleaner! I just didnt want to "over" soak her!

    Cuttlebone question

    I thought I would buy Pip a cuttlebone because he doesnt eat her food on the slate tile I put it on, she drags it off of it and then eats it. I thought the cuttlebone would help keep her beak nice and short. I put the cuttlebone in there a few minutes ago and she is going crazy with it...

    Aloe plant question

I just had a question about it....is it the plant itself they eat, or is it the leaves (didnt think the plant had actual leaves)....like the stuff with the goo in it? and the goo is safe for them...

    Greeted by Pip

    Well I have had Pip for just over a couple weeks now, and basically she has done the same thing everyday. Every morning I dig her out of her hide and soak her. She usually goes to the bathroom while soaking. Then I feed her and she eats for about 20-30 minutes and then sits in her basking...

    Lunch time! A question also

    My night time temps are about 60 degrees. I feed her once a day, and she eats for about 15-20 minutes and then walks away. I have a bag of spring mix for her, collard greens, Kale, and spinach. She gets a variety of that daily.
