>>I disagree that newspaper is an ideal substrate for a russian. While it is OK, and is useful if your tort is ill or you are worming and need to change the substrate often, I think it is frustrating for russians, who really like to dig and burrow. >>Nina



I guess I'll have to talk to my little CB russians about this, because they are quite content to crawl into their hide box at night and bask under their lights during the day, eating and growing and all that. And I'll have to talk to their father whom I raised from an egg, and their grandparents, whom I adopted.



Poor little things. They haven't learned that there is only one way to raise tortoises, and that I have failed them horribly.



Well, back to abusing my animals.



Just having fun :->



Bye now.
