Arthritic like when waking?

[Sh3wulf]

Has anyone ever noticed their tort moving like an arthritic 98 year-old when they get up from a long rest?

Benny totally freaked me out today. He was walking like something out of a horror movie and my first thought was I had somehow poisoned him with the dandelions and clovers. He recovered with the help of a large strawberry treat and warm soak, but holy grey hairs for me!!!

Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this new and scary antic my torts pulling?

When Joe has just woken up, or isn't warm enough, he walks like a pensioner too

The funniest is when he has had a blood sample taken by the vet and he tries to walk on 3 legs, keeping the "injured" one safely hidden in his shell.
