My tort's name is Stella.
I adopted her from Petco close to two weeks ago because they had her separated from the other torts and price marked down drastically ($100----> $30) because she was being bullied and being this close to Christmas, I knew she would wind up as a stocking stuffer.
Anywho, I adopted the little girl, they say she is approximately 6 years old but they also said the she is a HE (I found out she is a she and indeed NOT a he in another tort forum) so I'm choosing to not trust anything they said. Plus they were feeding her strawberries and kale.
Looking back now, she was probably being "bullied" by an aggressive male trying to mate with her. I hope he didn't succeed!
Today is the first day she ate for me (Kale and Romaine, I will try Collard greens tomorrow) and I was so excited! She seems very shy but today after eating she seemed a little more trusting.
She has a vet visit on Wednesday morning so here's hoping everything checks out and they can give me a true age estimate.
