I have a feeling Yermak is a girl, can you flip her over and show us a picture of her tail so we can help you identify her sex for you? She's looking super happy by the way, great job ;)

Russians does not require a high level of humidity like the Red foots, so spraying the enclosure 2 to 3 times a day should do the trick. Having some kind of lid over the top should help keep in the humidity.

http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?aid=2719 i think 70-80 is

a little high for russians, 60-70 should be the perfect level of humidity for

them. If u want to keep it at a constant humidity level, buy one of these

goodluck!

Here's a picture of our new guy, his name is Fred according to my 5 year old. I am hoping he changes it soon, lol. Don't mind his extremely over grown beak. I tried to file it a tad yesterday but I want him to have time to adjust to his new environment.
