Nodder started this 2 years ago and didn't touch it last year. Well, the digging resume...
Nothing better than a tort burrow! Pics

So cute! I wonder why he started it there. Charlie's burrows are always up against a barrier of some kind, usually a wall but once a bush. We would love it if he dug in the middle of the yard so it wouldn't end up under the house or in the neighbor's yard.
That's a nice little burrow. Good looking tortoise!
Cool burrow.
What kind of flowers does that clover looking stuff make?

Love it. Wonder why he left it alone for a year.
She started it there because we removed a small plant and she immediately wanted to inspect what was going on. She then took advantage of the little opening and created a good sized burrow. Being the worrier that I am after she dug 3 feet in one day, we dug up a 12x3x3 foot hole and sunk a huge plastic tub, drilled holes for drainage and filled it back in while keeping the hole opening. We also used pvc so it wouldn't collapse.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I describe in a previous post to Big Charlie how her burrow came to be.
That would be red clover. She has been eating and loving it her entire life...
You'll see the little red clover by her top leg. It is mixed in with some weeds and grasses, but it comes up first after the weather warms up like it has now.

All tired and sleeping in her humid hide on her heat mat after a day of digging...
I know, weird. I'm glad she started digging again. It keeps her much cooler during the days in the summer without me needing to put the humidifier on in her hide. Plus it's really cool looking!
What a lovely tort! GOD bless.
Thank you! She's 5 now and pretty amazing! Very social. She loves a neck scratch and comes like a dog when I'm outside. Sure for food, but still pretty cute!

Thanks, she's a sweetie!!!
Back at it again!!!
Luckies down here with my sandy soil the sullys can't make their awesome dens
Our water table is so high, Kronk wouldn't have one here, either. I can't wait to get his giant outdoor enclosure built this spring! He should be able to burrow a bit in there...
A high water table would be nice!
