Margery’s misadventures part 2!!!!!

Came home Friday afternoon after school and checked on the torts. Selma was up and about, Patty was attacking her cuttlebone, moved onto Marges enclosure.........she was hanging on to a piece of aloe Vera with her mouth!!!!! She was just dangling there, her little legs flapping about. This is a massive aloe and she was on the second highest part.

Now thinking about it, she must of flattened the aloe “leaf” or whatever you call it by standing on it and took a bite, then it flung back up. This is just my theory.

Why can’t I have normal pets. I’ve got a dog with very bad anxiety, a cat who’s constantly high on catnip and there is Marge...... who needs no explaining.;)
Maybe she was trying to escape using the catapult method but forgot to let go! :)
Margery is quite an intrepid tort!!

Good Morning/afternoon all and Happy Mothers Day to everyone around the world except in the UK (we like to be different).
It's a bright and sunny Sunday here, hope you are all lucky with the weather in your parts of the world too!
Have a lovely day.

Right, I have given Montgomery a good dusting and tickled his chin and he is happier now. Hopefully the other armadillos will stop sulking now.

I’ll get some marshmallows out of corner four and a half and polish the jellyfish with them, hopefully that will sort those out.
Oh, thank you! Standing in here has been difficult for my arthritic feet, and with no light at all...well, you can imagine.

I still am concerned that they may attempt to find the Secret Room to air their grievances. Oh! The jellyfish could dry up in the heat of the hallway! And the armadillos would have to wear sunglasses, and the meercats would most assuredly find trouble to get into.
At least the Wolf spider (if she exists) said she's not going anywhere, she's up near the ceiling knitting, and won't leave.

Roomies, we COULD have a disaster in the making! Remember, they are the residents, and we are the visitors. Their feelings are hurt, so we have to come up with little nothings to give them.

I gave the head jelly a small nothing, and she was delighted, and let me give her a poke! [emoji23]

Your eggs? :confused: What did I miss?

P.S. Did the little lady beam at you? ;)

Hubby brought home 6 eggs that were in a bush hogged field. His friend was going to destroy them.
It was a ground nest and due to the area they were in, I’m almost certain that they are Turkey eggs... they are a bit small for Turkey but first year hens usually lay smaller eggs...So.... it will be interesting to see what hatches[emoji16]

I’m annoyed I didn’t get one, I reacted really quickly to get her off in the shock of the moment. The pic would of of been my profile pic, no doubt about that:)
Yeah, too bad about the picture. . . but I do have a pretty good picture of the incident in my mind. Crazy tortoise!

Who needs normal??? Animals are a great source entertainment. They will reach you a whole new language if you let them:)

Too all the armadillos, jellyfish, wool spiders (if you exist), one-legged pirates and any other CDR inhabitant I may have missed - you are all valued and loved! Please continue on with your respective duties. We can't do it here without you!!!
