I'm curious why you're rehoming the one female russian and getting another? Is she the wrong sub-species for your group?

.?? I'm not rehoming any russians out, just in.
Ok. I see the misunderstanding. I reposted a CL add that I replied to, which is resulting in me getting said russian female.

Oh, I see. I thought you were rehoming one too. Makes much more sense now.
A new Russian is exciting!
The nice thing is they sound as if they know what they've been doing.

Last time I went to CT everyone asked me if I came to see the trees. I was thinking.. I am from MI.. we have trees and fall here too
I come out east a lot. How far are you from Wilmington DE?

I also was wondering why you were both rehoming and getting another Russian. I thought maybe the one you were booting wasn't a good breeder or something.
Talking about Russians. Last night I gave Betty a bath and afterwards I filed on her beak deformity. I have to file on it about once or twice a week to keep it in check and she really hates it. In fact, she doesn't like me as much as she used to now that she thinks I like to beat her on her facehole
Normally by the next day she is at least okay with me enough to want some food. I came down this morning to a super diva attitude. She was out basking and when I walked down she wouldn't look at me and didn't beg for food but scurried into her hide and only had her rear end showing out of it. I put out her food and then when I was out letting the dogs potty she must have come out and started eating. When she saw me coming in she abandoned her food and went back into her hide.
I am just trying to keep her and her beloved food together.

Oh no!!! *hugs* so sorry sibi!
CT is the most densely forested state in the U.S. I think it is our only claim to fame besides our ridiculously high taxes. I am about 4-5 hours away from DE, I only know that because we drive from here to DC a lot.
I was floating on a cloud today because I heard the birds singing for the first time since fall. Now I am crashing back to earth because we are getting another 6 inches of snow on Wednesday and snow on Thurs and Fri.

Yep the same storm is supposed to blow by us starting tonight.
Was 65 and sunny out today so finally took Rosie outside for some natural sun and she found the weeds. I picked her up to move her and she almost peed on my foot! So opinionated...
Does anyone else have a tortoise that tries to eat everything? She goes for roots, shiny rocks, pine cones, etc.
She now weighs 300 grams, up from her 204 grams in October (and 175g when I got her last summer). I called her a heifer when I picked her up, maybe that's why she tried to pee on me
Sibi, sorry to hear about sweet pea.
CourtneyandCarl, just send them down my way Jk.. My bf would kill me if I added more critters. The person wanting the rabbits fell through so I'm going to try building them a larger cage to make up for their lack of being out often..

When my youngest Leo was a hatchling he taste tested everything like that. It was really stressful. Now, he doesn't do that.

Your rabbits probably have it better than the poor piggies right now
I have them in a 30 gallon storage container with butter lids for food dishes, haha.... I went to Walmart last night to get some food, water bottles, etc... well walmart was out of their small water bottles so I had to buy a HUGE one for dogs, well the poor piggies can't turn the little ball anyways so I stopped at work to buy some things. But before that, I attached the water bottle to some metal thing that holds cars up when you are trying to change the wheel... it isn't a jack but it holds the car up after you've already used the jack... and their hide was an easter basket flipped over on its side... They were ghetto guinea pigs! haha
But I just got back and now they have a real hide and a little water bottle that I fastened to the side of the plastic tote by drilling holes in it... still kind of ghetto but it works!

I am sure they aren't judging
they are probably just happy to be safe, have food, and have water.
Omg, I am so immature! There is a thread that is using one word to ask if male or female and I want to write ..., ok.
I know I am suffering from extreme cabin fever over here!!

It's near impossible for my to refrain from posting such comments... So I don't try! It's much more amusing to post them!

Lol, I like your style
Okay so scary stuff happening here
I am allergic to a lot of stuff but usually only pork effects me badly. I had some cranberry apple herbal tea this afternoon and I got itchy and had to blow my nose. I went into the bathroom and my face was all red and covered with hives. I then packed up and started home. On my way home, my throat started getting tight. Ugh.. I made it home and took a benadryl. Then at dinner I had a tiny bit of lemon juice and had a relapse
I came the closest ever today to epipen.
