Good night everyone!

Goodnight Abdulla hope all is well with you now.

Hmmm, confused pet syndrome, I fear.

I'm wondering if it's jealousy as when ever I walk over to spuds enclosure monty comes running and wants fuss.

Of course, I love him just as much as ever.

I know people say torts can't hear but he definitely stops in his tracks when I call his name and looks around, so Iolo is as close as I can get to Lola, Mind you he would probably answer (or not) to anything!

To be quite honest, I don't believe everything I hear from people. However, this I remember we studied: torts do not hear but only feel vibrations. Now, since I've had Oli, I 've somewhat confirmed that they don't hear: I'd call 'Oli' even SHOUT, but there'd be no reaction whatsoever. If they do hear, hope Oli isn't....deaf!! And don't forget there'd ALWAYS be contradicting info, unless we talk of mathematics where 1+1=2.

Good night everyone!

Good night and sweet dreams.

They have ears and can hear, Gillian, though not on the same frequencies as us, mostly, and it is not their best sense.
I will send you the science of it by PM, to show how 1+1 might equal roughly 2.

So I always take pics of spud eating.
What should I take pics of him doing next? You must get bored of the same pics

I'm so ready to open a beer! Holiday weekends seems to justify drinking in the afternoon.

We just decided a couple of hours ago that we may rip out our bedroom carpet and put Pergo down! Yay!! My dogs ruin the real wood so we are going with a laminate.

Bamboo laminate holds up very well to pets.

Bungee jumping?

*looks up bungee jumping sessions for tortoises... Finds nothing*

Never.

Scuba-diving?

just found this cute pic of spud...
I have no idea how that plastic leaf is holding him up.

Please do. BUT.....there's NO 'roughly' in a subject AS CLEAR AS MATHEMATICS! In fact, this is the reason it was my favourite subject: NO 'maybe/probably/ROUGHLY' and the rest. Know what I mean?
Adam.....is this another one of YOUR 'jokes?'

 

[spud's_mum]

I'd prefer not to drown him in the process of taking a good pic...

Check he hasn't pulled the branch down, secured it with rope and is about to cut it to catapult himself out of his enclosure.

No, I'll get round to it, science isn't a joke, but it's not always as simple as 1+1, we still guess a bit, based on research and understanding as far as it has been taken.
It's often theoretical, rather than absolute.

Now that, I would love to see.
Brilliant, Lyn, brilliant.

...it's fine by me as long as he wears a helmet, dodges the dog and goes back by lights off time lol
