Hi to everyone that replied to my post about my russian torty.
I am very happy to say she's doing great! She has eaten everyday for the past week. No more crusty eyes, no more swelling of her limbs and body and best of all, the raw spots from where her skin was sloughing off is looking much better.

She got to explore the front yard today. When she wasn't snacking she was on the move. She needs a little flag on her back so she can be seen easliy. I took my eyes off her for a few minutes then about panic when I turned back around and could find her. She had moved about a foot and was blending in..hahaha. That was fun...finding the 2" torty in the front yard.
Anyway, here she is....she also got her soak after this picture so more skin hanging on her face

Well, the new guy is doing great also and eating really good. The hubby had him out in the side yard where his enclosure is. I also named him Smirnov and here he is....

You might try getting some of those children's suction toy arrows and stick that on your tort's back while grazing. That way you won't lose him because you'll be able to see the arrow move.

That's a good idea! I'll have to try one on Stoli.
Thanks alot!!

A vodka fan eh? Ever try soaking the torts in 40 proof?

Don't drink like I use to and vodka is my favorite. I've got another russian tort on it's way and it's going to be Topaz
