Hello,I am new to this Forum,(I hang out in the dog-Pharaoh Hound boards) my Russian is a 6 year old female.Given to me by a co-worker.Before she came to me she ate only bananas and lettuce.Spent her nights in a bathroom and days in a larger room inside. For the 10 weeks that I have had her,she spends her days on the back deck roaming freely eating a proper diet.Her appetite is great,eats from my hand and is a very social,good natured girl.At night she is contained in a large plastic tub with coconut shreds. My question , all day long she is on the move around the deck always walking and she can move pretty fast.Is this normal,constant walking....I read to feed once a day,but she is so hungry that I give her a mid afternoon snack.What am I doing right.....and wrong.Thanks darleen
