Thanks for the advice, Lena.
Make sure to soak him/her in a shallow dish with non-transparent sides, and go to the Tortoise Table for advice on feeding.
Did Wifey really agree to this (or did you smuggle the new buddy into the house without her knowing)?
Wifey has a heart of gold.Thanks for the advice, Lena.
He's currently hiding out in quarantine at a friend's place.
wifey does know, wasn't particularly happy to begin but has fallen for the little one already.
She does.Wifey has a heart of gold.
Still, I'd suggest you introduce all Alfie-substitutes one at a time, so that she doesn't realize Esio Trot was just a clever scheme to get more tortoises. (We knew you couldn't have photoshopped those photos, didn't we?)
Just say the shopkeeper told you they don't grow much if you keep them in a tight spaceShe does.
One at a time, yes, I think I'll get away with the Russian easily enough, but when it comes to the sulcata?
I'm going to try to buy a tiny one and then when it gets huge, just say it's a very large Greek and how was I to know?
Good plan.Just say the shopkeeper told you they don't grow much if you keep them in a tight space
