We've had Ned, our cape angulate tortoise for almost a year now. He's a old adult rescue who is left as wild as possible in our garden. We try not to handle him much and although we supplement his diet, he largely forages in the garden. Over the year he's slowly got used to me checking up on him and not even pulling his head in when I come near. So, today, I brought him a few hibiscus flowers and put them down next to him, then thought I'd try and feed them to him by hand. Without any hesitation he just tucked right in.
It isn't much, but it felt like a big moment.
