Hi everyone.
I would like to introduce you to myself first. My name is Mustafa, I m 21 years old from Egypt, Cairo. I currently study at the German University in Cairo and I m a proud owner of 2 Egyptian tortoises. The female is Sunny and the male is Tooti . I own them since approximately 2 years ago. When I got them I wasn't sure about their age, but they were somewhere between 2 and 3 years old as the shop wasn't sure of it's age.
I have a special little story about Sunny. I was doing a training at a company as a medical representative so I had to visit a lot of Pharmacies to advertise a certain medicinal product. By chance, I found a small pet shop so I decided to give a look for what kind of animals he has. By chance I asked him if he had a tort, he replied yes, but was the last one. So I asked him to show me it. As expected, she was in a very cruel shape, trapped in a cage with many rabbits jumping over her, no food, signs of poop over her beak as she ate from her poop forcibly because of hunger and no bathing or whatsoever. So I was willing to pay any price to get her back with me, for a better life. ( I hope I m doing good at this ) So I bought her for whatever price she was, obviously I got scammed but I was ok with it. Got back home, the moment I added the lettuce, she ran and ate like 4 pieces that day. And ever since, she's growing steadily and has become much larger than the male although they were the same size back then. I love Sunny more than Tooti because she's much more active, tooti is giving me a hard time making him eat, as he sleeps a lot and doesn't like to eat...although his mood changes from time to time.
Attached are their pics, sorry for the long story and I hope I won't be a burden on you guys, and please bare with me because I WILL be having a lot of inquiries. Enjoy!
