What’s some fun things to do with a tortoise

A more serious answer, which is:
1. Out of character for me and
2. Apparently superfluous

Obstacle courses! Mine love to climb over all kinds of things like branches, boards, and plant pots. One is fascinated by a coiled hose and crawls back and forth through it for hours!

This OP is the same fellow who asked if his tortoise can eat pancakes. I think he's a troll. He hasn't been back since making this thread.

How does one define "Normal" anyways?

Hmm let's see if I can..
To be considered regular or average by the standards of the majority of others, considered to be of average intelligence, of a sound emotional constitution and without mental disorder (sane).
How did I do?

I guess lol
What's normal to a fish (swimming)
Is considered crazy to a cat....

Sheldon my tortoise and myself enjoy riding are tandem bike together up to the local pub. They don't serve pancakes, so Sheldon goes for his number two favorite, a bacon cheeseburger. Sheldon and myself also like going pheasant hunting together, when he gets on a bird, he bobs his head twice to let me know that there is a bird there.

We know. I must try that with mine and see what their reactions are. Although if I come and look at them eating they all stop and look back at me as if to say [What! Can't you see we are trying to eat in peace here?]

Actually nowadays one does NOT want to be normal. I would rather be unique!

Cat and dog owners? Some people love cats rubbing on their leg and dogs sitting next to them loving to be petted. As for me, I love my RFs and I would like to think they love me too. In reality when they see me entering their pen, in my mind I can hear them yelling “come on, it’s the food tray guy!” I do get a lot of tortoises? Really? Why?

I play "Kick-the-Can" with mine. I place it in a long narrow alleyway and take a running start, then kick it as hard as I can towards the goal at the other end of the alleyway. He doesn't seem to enjoy it very much.

Me and Murphy tried our hand at "Kick the Can" last night. Murphy didn't really enjoy it and now I have a broken toe, and a hole in the drywall to fix

Watching Doodlez do his thing is both entertaining and relaxing. He is pretty goofy sometimes and the way they eat is often very amusing. Aside from just watching them, training them to respond to your voice is a good use of time.

LOL, I didn't see that coming.

Oh and also I cosign obstacle courses! We bought a miniature skate park and Doodz really climbs and slides his way around that. Tunnels, things to burrow, and of course a few treats along the way.
