Rowdy Russian!

[mousling]

We got my russian today and the first thing my boyfriend said as it scrambled about in the box was 'It's a rowdy little guy' and so it was named. We let it lose in it's little dwelling and so far it hasn't hidden but rather munched happily on the greens from out garden and jumped in an out of the water dish about a million times, no drinking, just in and out, silly tortoise. Anyway, here's a pic of it's underside, any guesses on gender? I'm thinking female but confirmation or correction would be cool. I can't wait to get the little outdoor box done so Rowdy can have some outdoor time too!

Hi,
Rowdy is a female. I'm glad she's settling in so well.

Sounds like your little girl is acting like a natural Russian. Congrats on her.

Congrats on getting Rowdy. Probably haven't heard that before (hehe). Nice looking Russian (from the avatar). and she has a cute belly too. Now we need more pics so we can see just how beautiful all of her is.

More pics will come once I sorta let her be for a few days, I don't want to traumatize her toooo much. It seems she wants to dig everywhere, in the garden, in the enclosure, looks like I'm going to have to make her bed-a-beast stuff a bit deeper.

By the way I REALLY like the name Rowdy

She's quite the active and happy girl! I got a few good pics today when she came out to partake in a little red leaf and nasturum flowers.

Pretty Lady! Did she like the nasturtium? I keep thinking about trying some on mine, but hard to get plants around here and I do really bad growing stuff from seeds.

She didn't try it, but I may give her a bit again later. My neighbors are great with plans, they have 2 nasturum plants and just about every dark leafy green you can imagine growing in the front yard and told me I could have whatever I wanted for Rowdy. She is sooooo spoiled.

I'm impressed that she is so relaxed that she started eating right away. They are usually traumatized by the trip to eat. She's going to be a great little tortoise for you!!!
