How Fast Is Your Tortoise?

[Gillian M]

Hi everyone. How fast is your tort? Oli is very fast when we're out and now with a new diet, he will be able to beat anyone, not only a hare who'd taken a nap during the famous race.

Tidgy isn't normally particularly fast, though she can move at a fair pace when she wants to.
However, I think she is quantum locked, in that when you're not looking at her, she moves at nearly light speed and ends up completely out of sight in seconds.

It depends on Bogarts motivation. If he see something yummy and smells it's beautiful plant-like aroma he is on a mission! I did know torts could move so fast!

When I had a Russian tortoise, he moved fast. I've seen some pretty fast sulcatas

Just as fast as her boyfriend. Who do you think would win the race: Tidgy or Oli? Hmmmmmm.

When I bring sow thistle in for beastie he practically sprints over to get them!
Also when I'm checking his enclosure he has a tendency to chase my hand - it's hilarious
