I wanted to share an experience with my russian (aka horsefield) tortoise!
Today I let him have a little run around the living room.(Never again lol)
It was a nightmare!! He managed to find all kinds a things to get into his mouth! A pen lid! A piece of string and a coin!
It was a nightmare because each time he found something new (like the pen lid) I'd get up to get it off him and he'd try to run away with it! I caught him
but he wouldnt let go? and at one point he even tried taking whatever he had into his shell to stop me taking it! ( and I think he hissed at me?
)
These guys IMO are really smart cause he'd look to see where I was before trying to grab something new to run away with!
I would never of thought something so small, slow moving, with a shell on his back could be so much trouble!, lmao
