Will and Yvonne, Thank you so much. He seems so small, about as big as a average sized woman's hand so I thought he was young when we got him. I also thought Russians grew to be much bigger so I have been afraid we were over feeding him or something and messing with his shell growth.

Hi, We have had Rocky for just over a year. I would guess he is about 1.5 yrs old. Please tell me if you think his shell looks ok or not. There seems to be wide spaces that did not exist a few months ago. Thanks
So we have had Rocky since December and he has been healthy and somewhat content the past 6 months. I took some advice and we have had him wandering inside the house with supervision and as it has gotten warmer brought him outside. We live in New England so it has only been over 60 for a few...
My heart goes out to you. I have been only in this forum for only a short while and you were far more brave than I posting and including the photos.

Apparently Rocky does like to climb. Having the camera on him has really helped me see his activities. We are working on a new larger enclosure and for now take him out to have him venture supervised around inside.
So do RT like to climb ramps? Do other "activities" other than burrow? We now have Rocky on a camera fed to an app and while interesting...he looks bored.
Thank you for your comments. We need to figure out the enclosure thing for sure. Thanks for the greens suggestions. We will def. Get what we can today.
Hi So we have had Rocky (RT) in our fam for 3 or so weeks. So far so good. His shell is about 3-4 in. Across no idea what age or gender. We know what he likes to eat Brussel Sprouts and iceburg lettuce and what he doesn't like Romainne, butter lettuce, celery greens. He hasn't really eaten the...
