With my bestfriend at a house she is animal sitting for and these people have a female russian (i have a male) and her beak is green. They only feed her pellets and kale. Going to see if i can buy her from them and give her a better life. Wanted to know opinions on what may be wrong with her...
this forum will probably give you the best possible care opinions. multipule users have created care guides for certain species, im sure you can find stuff here if you look!
Thank you this most likley seems to be what happened, he doesnt have any outer shell damage but i still think he probably got attacked or bitten. I might sound stupid saying this but my dad recently but antibacterial antibodies in the pond for all the fish and such so im kind of hoping that it...

I just built my russians outdoor enclosure and put netting around it (i also live in michigan). I'm SO paranoid leaving him out because i know this hawk likes to go near my backyard because of my neighbors chickens.
I dont have a picture but his food bowl was right by it so he would go on top and have his back legs on top while puting his head and front legs in the bowl.
Ive had my tort for a week, he eats super good, loves going outside for an hour a day and overall seems like a super healthy boy. When i first got him for 2 days he was in temporary housing and the entire time he was just inside the half log, but ever since he has been in his forever home he...
