Thanks Yvonne. Mine kind of looks like that one but the flowers look like they are different. Right now its not in bloom so I can't show you but here's a pic of more of the plant.
Toxic what does it do? He only had probably 5 sprigs in a week and a half time period. If mine is toxic I'll stop...
That link doesn't work. I don't know the specific type of sedum it is. I'll look on the internet and see what I can find though

My Russian was eating like a pig and drinking like a fish for 3 straight days two days ago. Now he won't eat or drink. He's pooping and peeing though. He just keeps swallowing like there might be something stuck in his throat. He looks at the food and pushes it around while swallowing. This week...
He finally ate today! Not much though. I got impatient cause he kept showing interest in the food but wasn't eating it. So I started dropping greens in the dirt in front of him and he ate it. So apparently he didn't like his food dish. I switched out his food and water dishes to terra cotta...
Ok Ms. Yvonne. I'll try the tooth brush. I'm a first time tortoise owner and since he's not eating or drinking I'm getting concerned so I started looking for things that might be wrong. All my pets are happy and healthy. I do my best to keep it that way. So when something didn't seem right I get...
Why? His temps are good 85-90 warm side and 70-75 cool side. Night drops to 65-70 on warm side. The last couple days he's been digging pretty deep to where he's almost completely covered and on the warm side but he's also done it on the cool side. When I bring him out of his enclosure he is...
I got my Russian last Monday from a pet store (I know never should have) anyways. I'm curious about his shell. It's obvious that he wasn't taken care of very well. Do you see shell rot?
What is that reddish brown color in the first pic by my finger. It looks like it's chipping and peeling. In...
It's not his water dish. It's a warm soak. I don't know how old he his but I don't think he's an adult yet. The only reason I've been soaking him is because he's new and still settling in and not eating or drinking yet.

He's new to me. He will sit in the water fit a few min then he starts trying to get out. Should I take him out then or let him keep trying to get out? I don't want to traumatize him.

I did get rid of the water dish. I'm looking for a terra cotta saucer. Poop sample is a good idea.

He likes to hide that's for sure. He's got a box in the shade side and a small pile of hay on the warm side until I can get more stuff for...
Thank you. So far I've tried carrot collard greens leafy greens red bell pepper sedum the stupid pellets. Guess I'll go pull some dandelions from the yard. I have Christmas cactus too I'll try. I'll start really worrying in a couple more days.

So I don't think I should be too concerned just yet but this guy hasn't eaten yet and keeps trying to bury himself. I turned the lights off at night and back on around 6am. I soaked him for about 5 min. He just sat there. I am concerned that the heat light isn't getting warm enough. How do I get...
Thanks guys. I didn't think it was less than a year old. And thought the pet stores usually had males. I'll change out the UV first thing tomorrow. I was worried about the water dish too I'll figure something else out tomorrow. Should I put something else in place of the hay?

Hey guys
I just got this girl (lady said she was a girl) a couple hours ago. I was told that she's less than a year old. I just want to make sure I have things right. Everything is still in the works just fyi.
I used ecoearth top soil, coco bark and Timothy hay for the substrate. Is this good...
