"im not sure if it is a promlem but when my russian goes to deficate the stool(s) come partialy out, dry, and then gets draged around. (it never came all the way out of the "back door" the other russian has had this happen befor but it wass usaly just stuck on something. any ideas on whats the deal."

the answer may be in your pet collection. i suspect that either you're giving your RTs lots of grass/timothy hay (a good thing) and the stool is being dragged around by grass blades, or your torts are consumming dog hair (not a great thing) and that's getting caught in the stool.
