Anyone else obsessed with their tortoises....

[Tidgy's Dad]

My friends bring me tortoise food, tortoise souvenirs and invite me to check on other peoples tortoises.
The first thing I do when i go to any town or city is check the pet shops, even when on holiday.
I am on Tortoise Forum hours a day.
Wifey suffers tortoise envy, as i spend so much time with Tidgy.
Obsessed ?
Me ?
Naahh !!

You think your the only one I spend $75.00 a week or more just feeding them and sense I work for a food warehouse that's not retail . I have 22 leopards , 3 Egyptians , 9 Russians , 8 Hermanns 3 Marginals , AZ Desert Torts , 7 box turtles , 2 pancakes , 11 different water turtles . Yes my wife says I'm turtle crazy !

Holy cow!!!!!!

Everyone always talks about their kids, I always talk about my shelled kids, show pictures to everyone. I L❤️VE my tortoises. They are just awesome tortoises and they make me smile everyday

 

[bouaboua]

Nope, not us. No obsession here, my friend. I'm afraid you're riding that horse all by yourself!

Yes. She is the only one obsessed by tortoise.

We are possessed by tortoise. If you don't believe me, ask my wife.

I regularly tell my friends how many grams my tortoises have gained each week...they roll their eyes at me and walk away.

I have to check to see what he is doing every hour or so. It never fails to make me happy when I see him.

I can waste hours a day just watching mine doing absolutely nothing!
If someone told me that I would be doing that 14 months ago I would have said they were bonkers!

I just suggested to Gillian that maybe her Oli is withdrawn because he's going through cold turtle, but I think that's what most of the ' addicts' here would do if they gave up their torts.

 

[immiexxo]

I love mine so much!
When I get home from work I run over to him and check he's okay like he's my child or something. Everyone thinks I'm so weird

Running outside in my jammies at midnight before a tropical storm hits so I can cut my lawn with scissors for Tuleo.

Taking a second job so I can build his dream shed when we move.

Moving out of state and a deciding factor in regards to WHERE is climate for him and/or space for said dream shed (not nice kitchen, just space for Tuleo.)

Nope. Not crazy for the little bugger one bit!
