Some better video of my russian Tortoise Zarnan. In this video he is hungrily snarfing down his favorite treat, mixed veggies. You can also hear a very loud fart in the beginning. I took this in the early morning and I tend to pass some big ones at that time of day. Enjoy!

Please, spare me your humble comments and opinions about how unhealthy this is for him because this is a treat and therefor treat should be translated as “not given on a regular basis”. I have a vet, the vet says it is okay as a rare treat…I trust my vet because they have saved my bird three times in the past five years from illness and egg-binding.

In the wild, the Russian Tortoise is considered vulnerable to extinction in the mid-long term.
