Daisy's Thread

[Chinque]

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

Here ya are!


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

Looks like she likes the warmth of your hand!

Thanks, guys! Has anyone been to this website: http://russiantortoise.net/index.htm ? It has tons of info about Russians and is really great! I'd love to hear your opinions about it!

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.

 

[Chinque]

Thats so funny... Rofl! I love the pic you took, it's so cute! I went back into my room and a few were gone, so I hope she ate them!

 

[Maggie and Torie the Tort]

I love your Tortoise! So cute!

 

[Chinque]

Thanks! I tried the rose petals again and she ate most of them!
