Here’s the latest news on the tortoise traumatising front.
Deep breath. Last night my beloved, whom I love deeply, grabbed the hibernating tortoise and bunged it into a tub of warm water. not surprisingly, this woke him up. He then had a run around the floor where he did an amazingly huge poo, then spent his time scuttling off to any dark crannies he could find.
Put him in his cage and he headed for the welly and dug himself in and slept.
This morning my dearest darling, once again grabbed him from the welly, but he didn’t wake up when she left mih by the food bowl. There’s only one thing that can happen. Eventually it’ll wake up and think it’s been sleepwalking. This is going to be the world’s most traumatised tortoise. Amazingly, it’s not dead yet.
How on earth did this become a tortoise blog?

Wha??? Oh!!! I thought Scaryduck’s blog had gone (I know it’s not pink, what is it? Food of some sort, wasn’t it?) blancmange.
Yes, at least Attenborough snuggles up with gorillas, and films animals that move a bit, even if their conversation is not up to the mark.
Where’s Zoe while all this is going on? Erecting a shed?
leave the poor thing to sleep some of these sleep for upto 6months. The weather ain’t gonna get any warmer soon.

Well, she’s always been slow, hasn’t she?
Bah-dah-bing!
Zed, leave the bloody tortoise to hibernate! It’s called nature!
Mental is not hibernating. I was told that he ate a large piece of chicory today – go Mental, go! And I’ve signed up to Tortoise Diary thanks to the link from bb. I can keep notes of Mental and everything. Yesterday he weighed in at a hefty 2.5 grs.
call me when it starts barking, please. Better yet, record it and then just post it.
