I want to get my Russian something nice for Christmas; as well as having some foods that he ususally can't have like rose and grated carrot. I have got him a lot of climbing things and sadly there isn't a market for tortoise toys, so I am looking for something edible. He doesn't really like any...

Hi, My four year old Russian tortoise blinks the opposite way to humans. When we blink, our eyelids go down briefly and back up to the top of our eye, where they are based. When he blinks, his eyes go up to the top of his eye and back down. His eyelids are, definitely, based at the bottom...

Hi, As well as loving tortoises, I also have a huge passion for snails and, of course, my little Russian Dwarf Hamster. Seraphina, my new baby Helix Aspersa The Cepaea Hortensis I found yesterday. She has a damaged lip (shell lip), and is on intensive calcium supplements to build it...

Hi, This is Speedy, my adorable four-year-old Russian Asleep up his hideout! He also, when active, climbs it and slides down for fun repeatedly! He is very unique looking, I think, with his underbite!

Hi, I have a Photobucket account and have uploaded several photos, but only know how to display the link on posts. I see posts that have a long list of actual pics as opposed to links that you click on - how do I directly display photos from Photobucket onto posts? Thanks

Hi, My four year old Russian has, pretty much, an upside-down mouth structure. It's not just an underbite - the whole bottom jaw is just like what the top jaw should be. He is adorable, though! He blinks upside down - and his eyelid goes to the base of his eye. They point, a little like...

Hi, These pictures are of my adorable Russian, Speedy. He is four years old and very unique (from his underbite to his unusual habits! http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/Speedmister/Speedy/DSCF1766.jpg http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/Speedmister/Speedy/DSCF1745.jpg...

Hi, I just created a Photobucket account. It looks like I need to update to 'pro' or I'll only be able to store a tiny amount of pics. Is this the case? Do I need to pay for 'pro' every month, to store enough photos? Thanks

Hi, My Russian Tortoise is four years old. We're pretty sure he is a boy. I have noticed that often after he excretes, a slightly gory, liver coloured faeces-shaped thing comes out of his tail and shoots back in. Is he 'flashing'? It looks to me like he does it by accident because it only...

Hi, I am hoping this picture will come out - if it does, you'll all be seeing a lot of Speedy and my other pets!

Hi, I have a beautiful Russian tortoise called Speedy, who is about four. He is going to a vets tomorrow so we will know for sure if he is a girl or boy! He also needs his nails cut, and the knowledgable reptile vet will do that too. I am England and it is quite warm these days, but...

Hi, Currently, I feed my 4 yr old Russian, Speedy, 5 times a week. This is because he does not hibernate, and, if he eats every day, he would be consuming much more than he would in the wild, in an overall year. This can lead to a deformed shell and shortened life. Anyway, on the days he...

Hi, :tort: I am a new member. I currently own one four year old Russian Tortoise called Speedy. He is adorable, loves social interaction and is very cuddly too. I think he is a boy because his plastron curves in, his tail is long and thin, he has a large spur on his tail, and because the...
