Hi guys,
I found this little beauty in my mother's garden so we've adopted her until we can figure out where she came from as none of our neighbours are claiming her.
I've started doing some research. Am I right in thinking she's a yellow foot tort? She's only 6 inches so I'm guessing she's quite young. Would any one like to take a guess at her age?
I'm presuming she's a she because her tail is quite short.....but then again, she's quite small so I have no idea if her tail is short or long for her size!
She was initially quite shy but now she literally follows me when I'm outside and seems to like me feeding her. At first it was cute but I'm trying to be careful not to over handle her - should she escape I want her to be able to manage on her own.
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Nervously yours
