Pictures of Freddie!

[Calaquendi]

Okay, then I know that it's not very dangerous. As long as I keep an eye on him, hehe..

Thanks for all your comments. I love him so much.

Here are some recent pics:

Freddie prefers to eat from the box. It tastes so much better when coming straight from it!

Freddie waking up, haha

Yummy!

Your album is fantastic! I like Freddie already!

 

[Calaquendi]

Haha, that's good! Freddie likes you all.


Thought I share a video with you, of Freddie walking around today. Man he was active, he walked whole the house twice!

Isn't he a fast fast tortoise?

Little Russians ARE quite a bit faster than we think tortoises ought to be. How cute his little tail goes back and forth as he walks.

A note of caution: I wouldn't allow him to walk too much on the tile floor. He was having quite a bit of trouble with traction and it might harm his leg/hip sockets to be slipping like that too much.

what a handsome tort Freddie is! and he can walk quite fast..so cute!

 

[Calaquendi]

emysemys: I will take that advice, thank you Will try to keep him from walking on slippery floor!

The sleeping beauty was in need of a powernap in my cap, or whatever its called in English, hehe.

Before he fell asleep he had to listen to me buggin him with my chatting

I just love your pictures! So cute!

 

[Calaquendi]

Freddie managed to make a new opening in his little house made of whool, so he struggled getting out of it, hehe

Are u gonna help me or what?!

I'm such a cutie.

Freddie actually loves to sit in the window sometimes - and yes, he can turn around if he gets sick of it, and I watch him.

My little prince, thinking..

 

[Yvonne G]

I've been wondering where you are. Is it starting to warm up there yet? As always, Freddie is just too cute for words!!

(He might benefit from a little filing on that lower beak)

 

[Calaquendi]

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like anythings gonna warm up yet. Anyway, Freddie is having a good time inside the four walls, hehe. We are going to the vet very soon, I dont wanna do anything to harm him, so she/he will get to file a bit!

 

[Calaquendi]

Hey guys, Freddie just ate his breakfast and I just had to film it.

The sun was very warm yesterday, so Freddie had a short trip outside! He's looking forward for summer to begin :-D

Checkin out the spring flowers!

Hi Kaja:

Freddie has grown so much. He's as big as your hand now. You pictures are just beautiful! I like that you are continuing to post in the same thread. It gives us a better view of his growth. I love the mountains in the background. Lovely!!

 

[Calaquendi]

Yeah, he's a big boy now <3 Yesterday, it was exactly one year since he came to me! Are gonna have to celebrate that one day. He is 5 years old now.

 

[zoogrl]

How adorable! I love the pic of him eating the flower

 

[Calaquendi]

Me and Freddie was at the vet today, an accident happened, and he got burned on his shell, and bled a bit, and I was so sure that he was gonna die. I've never seen a hurt tortoise before!

Anyway, she didn't wanna do anything about his underbite, it seemed like he would be able to fix it himself. His weight was 512 gram, and he seemed like a healthy and happy tortoise!

He will now get medicine against infection for ten days, and metacam for seven days.

Poor baby
!

You, wazzup? Just goin to the vet. No big deal.

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh Kaja...that's so scary. What happened? Did he get too close to his light?

This is for Freddie:

 

[Calaquendi]

Yep, somehow he managed to take down the warmlamp, and get his shell burned on it.. I'm sure if I hadn't seen if fast enough he would have got burned to death or something.. So ofcourse, I have to find a new place to put the lamp, and more safety. For now, I just turn it off while I'm out of the house..

Freddie says thank you!
