Hi! I'm Olivia, Daisy's owner, and let me thank you in advance for reading this thread! Here I will be posting pictures and information about Daisy as we get to know her a little bit better! Daisy is a 4 month old Russian tortoise and she went out on the lawn for the first time today where she loves to explore. Thank you again for reading this thread and I love comments, so if you feel like you're writing too much, I guarantee you that you're not! :)
Here are some pics of her on her first "exploration"!

She sure is cute. I just love baby tortoises. Enjoy your new tortoise. You came to the right place to learn how to take care of her. This forum is loaded with such helpful information. :)

How big, or should i say small, is she at 4 months?

She must be pretty tiny! Can you post a picture of her in your palm?

I love the Russian hatchling pictures when they sit in the palm :)

Pleas keep in mind that:
1. I have kinda small hands
2. Daisy isn't exactly 4 months, the guy who sold her to me about a month and a half ago gave me an estimate of a couple of months

So I tried feeding daisy rose petals today... I don't think she liked them, because she just walked right past them.

She doesn't know what she is missing!

I threw down some rose petals today for my group and all 4 came running from their different areas to chow down!

At one point all 4 were lined up in a straight line eating them. I whipped out my phone for a pic, dropped it and the battery flew! By the time my phone re booted the male had walked off and the girls broke formation. All i got was this pic.

Keep offering the petals! She will try them eventually :)

Tortoises are funny. Sometimes they will love a food, other times they will pass it by. Next month or next year she may love rose petals!
The idea is to keep offering a variety of foods. Even if she prefers one kind, keep up the variety.

russiantortoise.net is a great web site! I like the diet and edible plants sections.
