1.4 Russian Tortoise Creep

[jsheffield]

Persephone is sassy. Is she the lowest one in the picture?

Yes, she is. She always comes over for a scratch when she sees me come into my office and/or mess around with their enclosure.

I can still spot her. She looks great.

The four ladies in the creep shuffle over every morning when the timers kick on the "morning" light and heat increase; they spread out a bit to absorb some heat and UV.

They look absolutely great!

Thanks, they're all rescues of one sort or another... I'm completely in love with Russian Tortoises, and so grateful that the females get along (they've got space and I had backup plans, but thankfully it's worked out for them).

Persephone is the one on the slate?

I got the Russians outside for their first time this year... a good time was had by all.

I got the Russian creep outside for a few hours today in their outdoors enclosure... they had a good time exploring the grass that I'd left long sorta on purpose, Chili had fun chasing the four females around and harassing them just enough that I think all of them were happy to get back inside by the end of the afternoon.



Persephone got a fair amount of time to herself today, which is a change, as normally Chili won't leave her alone... I kept checking in on them, and she was always in a different spot in the enclosure, exploring or hiding or digging or nibbling.
