Somewhere out there is video of a zoo doing something similar. I remember seeing it years ago when I was researching breeds to decide what I wanted. I saw that video and knew I wanted a smaller tortoise.Just a little note on Buddy, the Sulcata on the dolly. It was raining two inches an hour when we tried to get him into his new pen, so we couldn't get the dolly anywhere near the pen because of all the mud. For those of you who haven't tried it, getting a 211-pound tortoise to go where you want him to go is NOT an easy task! If you try to lift him, he just pulls in his legs & head, & there's no room for fingers, & there's no way to push him, either. So my granddaughter had the brilliant idea that she would "ride" our new rescue down the slope, using a head of lettuce in her hand to steer him! And it worked perfectly - he even climbed into the pen when she tossed the lettuce inside. I only wish I could have had a photo or video of it, because we were laughing our heads off, but the rain would have ruined my camera.
