"Absolutely gorgeous", Mr Adam said, not meaning it, as he was still gripped by Extreme Tortoise Envy. And now, as he looked down at Mrs wifey's smiling face gazing up into his own, he thought for the thousandth time how pretty she was (pretty stupid, more like as will be seen), how sweet and gentle and full of kindness, and his heart ached with love. (lust would be more accurate, I feel).
Look at that water bowl!
Not only is it see through, so that poor Alfie can see out and try to get away,( an opaque soaking dish is a better option) but this is impossible for Alfie to climb in. And if he did he'd probably drown.
The of course there's the bad mix of foods and the silly coco coir tray which Mrs wifey uses as a dirt box for Alfie to use as a toilet. Goodness.
I must say, however that there was supposed to be a slice of tomato in this shot, but I couldn't be bothered to go and get one.
So I used a sea urchin instead, also bad for a tortoise diet. I expect, though it's not on The Tortoise Table. Did anyone spot it ?
Here is the tomato that should have been in the picture.
