sibi said:Except my Baby Runt Brig. She was so cute yesterday. I was in Tahahassee and was looking for a park to take Baby Runt to (yes, I took her along for the trip because no one can care for her like I can). I found a large patch of green grass and put her down. After a while, she started to roam. She tried to eat a withered leaf on the ground but couldn't reach it. After a while she was getting a little far away, so I started to sing my song. She heard it, and did a 180 degree turn toward the voice. When she got about 10 feet away, she recognized me and did a beeline toward me. It was as if she got lost, and when she found me, she ran as if her life depended on it. I found that to be sooo cute.
Thanks Sandy for the website

That is such a sweet and charming story, Sibi. When I was in the semitruck, I would take various tortoises and turtles along with me. It was a bunch of work, but kept away my tortoise withdrawals.

Sort of like large amounts of grass, I slow way down just to soak in the colors and beauty and if I get a chance, wiggle my bare feet into soft grass....oh heavenly! I'm hoping to get some grasses growing strong in the tortoise enclosures this year, came pretty close last year, but the bunnies and torts ate it to the roots and had it gone in a few weeks. Try, try again. lol

That's why I love my cold weather for it brings me these things. Nebraska, doesn't get the high numbers of awesome red leaves, but we get the yellows. I make use of those leaves in the enclosures, especially the hingeback ones. My inside cats love it and you should see what damage they can do, if they get into a bag of leaves. I also love walking through the leaves and making noises with them. (Yes, I am just a big kid). Need me to send you some leaves?

That's me with cactus. ...and figs. Someday I will win the war!!
TigsMom said:Thank you for the offer to send leaves. I can get family to bring them from their homes or bring a bag home with me when I go to visit them. I run around with trash bags and ziplocks to grab up leaves and dandelion blooms to add to the enclosures here. Yep, the little kid comes out when I see dandelions and leaves. hahaha FIGS who are the Figs for? your tortoises? you? both? lol I didn't know tortoises ate Figs.

Not me, I don't like most fruit, but do try anything I get for my tortoises and I am always looking for something new to try. I had read that hingebacks really love them. My hingebacks did not, but my redfoot/cherryheads loved figs.
Sorry Sandy that we are sorta taking your thread off topic.
