Afghanistan tortoise

Hello everybody, I have a 2 yr old Afghanistan Tortoise, Myrtle, and she is awesome. Within the last two weeks she will come out when she hears us come down the stairs and wait until we feed her and she has had quite a big appetite. Is this normal?

RE: Afghanistan tortoise

They have large appetites. I have some that if I put my hand in the enclosure they will come over and crawl right on them, I have others that sit and look right at me until they get there food or scratches. They have really big personalities.
