I'm glad Om isnt the only.one! Its very.cute but I have been.worried about.roll overs so I might.make a ramp to try and stop.that happening! Thanks.for the idea!

Thanks, ill try rocks tomake it a little different. There must be.lots of.frustrated.torts out.there.if they get.fed up of squares and rectangles and open tops caus I seem to see.that.alot. Space is an issue at thee.moment as.my.partner and.I.are.sharing a.flat with.others so.Om has.to.live in...

The ball sounds kind of crazy. The.bridge toy is actually a hollowed wooden log arch.thing I put in there.to.be.his cave, but he seems more.interested in sitting on top.of it, I was quite shocked as its quite a.climb! His enclosure is one of those large plastic indoor rabbit/guinea pig hutches...

Hey, I have a little Russian. He's in a large indoors enclosure with soil/sand substrate. He has.two dangling plants from the walls which he digs under.sometimes, and a wooden arch which he's.started climbing on top of. I'm just trying to.figure put what else other than his.food and water bowl I...

Om seems happy with his enclosure but I want to make it more interesting. I was thinking of adding hills but I dont know how to create them, also I'd appreciate any other ideas people have!

Hey! I'm UK based.too. Down Hampshire way :) I have one Russian called the great Om :)

Lol, thankyou. I hand feed occasionally but on the most part his food is in a bowl, but I think you might be right, hes figured out the hand brings nom! Hopefully it's not a territory thing as that wouldn't be fun!

Om has recently taken to following my hand around his enclosure. I wonder whether he's figured out that the hand appears and suddenly theres food, but I'm nervous to let him to close to my hand incase he's actually planning to bite me. I know on here they say Russians dont tend to bite, but I'm...

Mine does this but then he seems to settle in the hole hes made in the corner. He has a wooden tunnel but seems to much prefer this particular corner under a plant!

That does seem incredibly dodgy!

Hey! Ive started growing food for my Russian recently. I dont know what its like in the US but here in the UK there are tortoise feed growing kits on Amazon, so I bought one of those. It has loads of the edibles.that torts eat. I planted mine a.week ago today and I've got loads of seedings...

Thanks! I'm trying to make it as interesting for him as possible and I'm always willing to try new things so I'll try digging his water in a bit for easy access.

He seems to climb into them both ok, I've got to change his water as he seems to have trecked soil in it while I was at work, and I've just witnessed him sat in his food bowl (which is bigger than him!) I've just measured him and he's currently 3 inches length and width (so little!) From the...

I'm UK :)

Hi All, Just posting some pictures of Oms enclosure for all to see! I'm using sand/soil substrate which has a little bit of limestone in it (got it from a reptile specialist over here in the UK). He has a prorep heatlamp with a 125W bulb, and there's a little heat map on that side as well to...

Here are some photos of his set up, and of Om bravely guarding his plant against the camera intruder! I'm using a soil/sand substrate, alongside a prorep heat lamp with 125W bulb. There is also a heat map on that side of the enclosure but a little away from the lamp so the entirety of that...

I wouldn't say he's a teeny tiny baby. Probably about a year.or so but a baby to me! Will.post some up tonight

Sure, I'll.take a photo tonight when I get back. Temps wise he is usually at.about 26 Celsius.during.the day dropping to 20 at.night.

Hi! That would.explain why he sleeps in the corner with plant cover! I just worry he's.cold, but from reading on here he wouldn't be eating so happily and moving away from his light if he was. I look forward to him becoming a proper little.man, but he's so adorable.while he's small!

Hi all, I've had Om about two weeks now. He's very good, comes out and eats, has a quick shufty around and then goes right back in his corner and either digs or sleeps. Should I be concerned or do I just have a lazy baby? He poos and pees fine and I bath him twice a week and he's quite active...
