All summer, my Greek tortoise has been living it up in a large outdoor enclosure densely planted with TortoiseSupply broadleaf testudo mix. Over the past few weeks I've noticed the food disappearing at a faster rate, an figured he was eating it and even planted more at one point. Well, I went...

Has anyone watched this show on Amazon prime/PBS? It's an entertaining and easy watch, plus there are frequent cameos by Hermann's tortoises! It's also pertinent to tortoise stuff since it's about the childhood of Gerry Durrell, who went on to found the Jersey Zoo. The center in Madagascar...
