Jill is the smallest of my Russian tortoises. She is just barely 5" SCL, and she is definitely growing, because she was only 4.5" long at Christmas. She is VERY enthusiastic about hibiscus flowers.

I only just found out Rose of Sharon was okay for feeding when I joined the forum. I have a yard full. So I tried with the Redfoots and they practically inhaled the delicate blossoms. My Indian Star, not so much.

I just bought a hibiscus plant for my russian tortoise to eat in the future. I hope mine likes it as much as yours!
