Hey everyone,

Today I was able to hand feed one of my Russians today for the first time in 4 1/2 years. Out of the two she is far more personable and completely food motivated, which reminds me of the bullmastiff I used to have:D. Anyways, here she is:

(P.S. don't worry about them eating lettuce, they get a mixed diet)

Haha, to be come tell honest, I'm not sure. I probably could have tried a little sooner with this one, but hey, it worked so I'm happy. Now I just need to teach her a few tricks, maybe housebreak her and I'll be set:D

Of course, I'll start a new generation of tortoise keeping. Most people don't realize the pure athleticism their pet has:D.

When there's fruit to be had I'm sure my Rosie *would* jump through hoops to get it. She goes into turbo-tort speed when she sees anything red!
