Jill is one of my two new females. She is very tame - her previous owner had her for 4 years, and treated her well.

Here is a video of her eating some kale.

Please excuse the squeaking in the background, that is my male, Roz, mating with one of my other females... that little piggy!

Too cute! I can only get mine to eat apple out of mine and that's just a special treat thing! But I keep trying :)

Yeah, it seems to be a tortoise personality thing. Jill, Mila, and Roz all readily eat out of my hand. Timmy (my big female) won't even take a treat out of my hand.

Oh my word. We laugh so hard when our male is "busy" - I recorded video of it, but wasn't sure if it was inappropriate to post, so haven't. He sounds like a rubber ducky when he's mating! My friend has a breeding pair of sulcatas, and she says hers grunt. She thinks it is hilarious that small tortoises squeak. ;)
