Sometimes tortoise breeding is a hilarious business.

But then other times it is also a very serious affair.

Phoebe tried her first flower today! She’s come a long way from the tortoise that would only eat cucumber! Now she’s trying everything i offer her - she even had a nibble of the grass in her enclosure :D

Seb has done his escape act again.  He’s been gone for almost a month now i think, and i’ve lost hope of finding him. I have to have moved out in less than 4 weeks and i have searched everywhere. I genuinely think he’s gone this time. I have no idea how he escaped yet again, but this time my little houdini won. I miss him and do worry, but theres nothing else i can do. My housemates dont know as Jonny is terrified of snakes and didn’t sleep last time. Last time he escaped everyone just stressed out, so i kept it quiet this time to save my blood pressure. I think its best i just dont tell him, which means not telling nathan as he’d just tell Jonny anyway.  His viv makes me sad when i see it empty so im going to sell it and keep back the stuff i’d need for a rub set up. That way i still have kit incase he returns, but i dont have to see his empty viv every day.  Enjoy your freedom Houdini.

The guys got introduced to the newly finished enclosure today. Both of them took the opportunity to trash the entire thing, like any self respecting tortoise should do. :) Phoebe instantly went to sit on top of the hide and wouldn’t let George up. George retaliated by going and sitting on top of a plant. My tortoises are idiots.

In the process of scienceing together some bookshelves to make an XL tortoise table and had a little helper read the flat pack furniture instructions.

Tortoises Have Arrived!

The hingeback torties are here :D They’re currently crashing around their tortoise table like mad. Their beaks are a little overgrown and will get filed down possibly but their nails are a decent length and they don’t look too bad :) They also need names! See the competition
