Last year, I got Emrys a hide for his outdoor enclosure. My fiance got him a football.

This year, I got Emrys a new enclosure (given to him a month early) and my fiance got him nothing. :p

He also gets treat food for Christmas Dinner. Berries last year, and his favourite tomatoes this year.

Where would I get cactus fruit, garden centre?

I think I will get some new tunnels for them and make some Christmas treats. It's soo frustrating the pet shops have heaps for cats and dogs.

I bought mine a large order of cactus pads. They love them but do not get them often.

Special food treat. My leopard loves Xmas cactus. Maybe you could see if yours likes it? They can have it sparingly.

How about a $$ donation to a project ensuring habitat for wild tortoises on your pets behalf?

That's what my girlfriend and I have been giving each other every year. This year I did the TSA and she did the sea turtle hospital in the keys

I give mine good food, clean water, the correct temps and environment, and a clean enclosure, just like every other day... :)

That's a nice idea i like that :)
I just wanted to do something special for them since its our first Christmas together and it's just us, but its difficult getting new stuff for them. I think I will just spend the day spoiling them, maybe change up their enclosures, add the odd tunnel or plant.

I try to find some fruit, veggie, or green they have never had before.

I might get a new digital surround speaker set for them as well. I'm sure they will enjoy the sophisticated sound as much as I do :D

I got Carl some seeds to plant in his indoor enclosure... he seems a bit down as of late and I think he misses romping around outside and eating whatever he happens to come across.
