So today bert and i were outside playing in the warm sunshine when he did something new. It was so funny i couldnt stop laughing. But then i started thinking, just how much do they feel with that shell?
I started scratching his shell with my fingernails. All of a sudden he popped up real tall and started wiggleing his shell to my scratches! Then i was scratching his back end of the shell. He stuck his butt in the air and was shankeing it back and forth!! It was the funniest thing i ever saw! He really seemed to be loving it!
I found a little scrub brush and will try that later. I think he will love it. Is this normal? his shell looks a little dry, is there anything i can put on it? I spray him and he gets a soak every few days. I cant wait to show my husband this new thing! also, he is beginning to come to me when i call him. Of course the cactus or pumpkin may have something to do with that! I just love this little guy!

It's the only time I ever saw him sprint and it was even faster than when he was hungry!
