Well, I just picked the thing apart with some toothpicks. I think it might be grass. She has quite a bit of long grass growing in her enclosure; I planted the Russian tortoise seed mix from Carolina Pet Supply as well as a few types of weeds I transplanted. Anyways, what do you guys think? Grass?

I'm really concerned. Does anyone have any insight?

Right? Does anyone know why it looks like that/ if it's normal?

So today my roughly 5 inch female Russian pooped this. It's so long! It'd be about the same size as her if it was straight. I don't know if this is normal. What could be the cause? She's outside all day and sleeps indoors. She has a pretty well varied diet of weeds that she grazes on at will but...

Thank you guys! Now I just have to try to get it to survive :P

I'm crazy and need confirmation from you guys that this is mallow? Assuming my transplant doesn't continue to fail ;p ignore the snail slime all around it.

I'd buy one!

Thanks guys! I've been following your posts about Lou and I just love him! Can't believe anyone would just abandon him.

Oh my goodness. They're beautiful!

I thought this picture turned out kind of cute ;P I think it perfectly illustrates spring: new growth everywhere, sun, and Herschel's first rose of the season!

The fish are great. We move into our house in the late spring a few years ago after the house was vacant for two years. The pool was FULL of fish, and no mosquitos!

Herschel's rough looking (I know...it's not the prettiest haha, the frost killed A LOT of plants) outdoor pen more than doubled in size today. The little lady's getting big! We're slowly ripping up the entire old deck and converting it into her pen; it was very old and needed replacing anyways...

Aww this makes me so happy (: I'm glad she looks good, and now I can get comfortable calling her a she! Thank you all!

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while! My (I believe) female Russian has finally reached a pretty good size and I was wondering if she's still looking female. Her tail is still really stubby, but she does kind of hold it to the side sometimes. I'm amazed at how fast she's grown. Looking generally...

I was thinking dandelion, I just have never noticed a milky sap with dandelion before. But I think Tom's right in saying it's part of the same group. I'll probably feed it.

So I know this is a common one, but I'm super paranoid about poisoning my tortoise haha. It has a milky sap. Safe to feed?

Thanks so much everyone!

Thanks so much (:

Haven't posted in a while, but I thought this was worth sharing (: Taken a year ago and last week.

I just gave in and brought her back in for the night haha. Thank you though! I'm not ready to be up worried all night. I'm going to try to make a more secure "burrow" in her pen soon. I'll try again in the probably by the end of the month. Thanks again!
