New rescue/purchase

I had seen this Russian on Craigslist for weeks and today I called. The prier owner was going to release her into a field but the guy I got her from said he would sell her on CL...

Here she is.





I pray I can give her a better home and get her healthy.
This makes 4 girls and 2 boys in my Russian collection.

Congrats on the save

Glad that was not turned loose in a field.

great save, congrats on your new baby

Poor babe. Glad you found her.

congrats on a good save.

Great save

good job on rescuing her !

Poor thing! Nice save!

Good rescue! I can't believe the past owner wanted to release it

I have a Russian but he cannot go in his shell that much. Is that normal? Might seem silly that I'm asking... But I'm really curious

Russians, since they love to eat, often get too fat to fit in their shells. Could that be the case, yours simply has more weight?

That makes sense

No doubt this Russian is not over weight. She is eating well and im glad for that. Weather permitting she will go outside tomorrow. I hope the boys leave her alone.

Good save! Always very rewarding to save tortoises!

My
Guy weighs 432 grams? Lol I'm not
Sure what they were measuring him by, the vet just mentioned 432.... Hmm should he got on a diet?
