The last two pictures in my original post were what my new rain forest section looked like last week. In fact, I believe I took this picture of that section a couple weeks ago:
Here's what it looks like this evening:
Before, you couldn't see any dirt. Now its almost all eaten up. I had planted some turnips so they could eat the greens, but here's what the turnips look like now:
This is VicMorgan eating that weed that has a banana-like name next to the mallow bush:
This is what I had to do to protect the young banana tree:
And here's a couple shots of what damage the tortoises have done to first of all a young pony tail palm and next a young fig tree:
I should add that the bark on both those trees is very hard and the tortoises have no teeth!
This is what they usually do when not eating:
That's a cement mixing tub on the left and a garbage toter lid on the right.
I also have an orange tree, another fig tree, several rose of sharon trees and several shrubs in the new rain forest part.
