RE: Rescued Sulcata

Lumpy is really making great progress. He's eating almost regular sized meals, he's not as nervous of movements and people, and he prefers to be hand fed compared to before where he was too scared to eat when we were near by. I think he'll always be a special needs tortoise and may even need to be hand fed forever to ensure that he eats adequately but he's really made a turn around and I don't constantly worry about him anymore.

Here are some overdue pictures

The first time I saw him eat anything!!

And today eating some lunch after a soak
