There's no pictures :-(

Here you go. Do they show up now?
(click on the little thingies at the bottom, I didn't actually attach them IN the thread so it wouldn't take up as much room!)

@Yellow Turtle01 : you are welcome
Yes they did showed up now and on the previous one..

@MoonRX -- that photo was taken Oatmeal's first day home, so she was feeling quite a bit shy then. Took her about a week or so to fully "come out of her shell" haha. But once she did, what a personality she has! Her best friend is my 6mo kitten Neo -- I think Oatmeal just likes the extra heat, and Neo likes the extra heat from the heatlamp in the tortoise table.

This is Shelly...she's my ten year old daughter's pet, but she's really my friend. I just love her. She is so cute. This picture doesnt even do her justice...I wish she would let me pet her head more but she's a little skidish sometimes, so I only pet her once in a while, but i really do adore her!

Just one more....she loves her rock....sometimes she goes over it, sometimes she burrows under it....Ahhh the simple things

Just one more ? There are never too many Russian pictures. I am enjoying everyone's pictures.

Here are my 2, Thelma and Louise. Just got them on the 25th. Really enjoying Russians so far.

This is Tom. I've had him for about 3 months I think. This was when I first got him. I love the "fangs" he has :3 They're really tiny.

An old one of one of mine outside in their enclosure on a hot summer day. I like this picture not because it shows him all dried out looking , but rather because of the bottom of that little foot showing.

Hi Maddylyn!
Mine were all skiddish. but interacting with them almost every day makes them more open. Slookie got here first and she now loves it when we rub her head (she litterally lifts her head!) and she doesn't hide in her shell anymore. Gandalf and Leia are hiding much less in their shell now. I rub their feet a little when they bathe, let them walk off my hand, to let them know that hand won't hurt them, lift them up and put them in the sun (sometimes they don't realise it's shining ) and pet them briefly a few times a day, for them to get to know me. Sometimes they walk about the living room. Maybe this'll help with your little one to make him less skiddish!

I got Ollie on April 12, 2014. 7 months later we bought a little Hermann's, but she doesn't belong in this thread.
