Queenie

[Maggie Cummings]

I'm not unfamiliar to tortoises, I have had a lot and seen a lot more at my sister's, and of course I have Bob who is Mr. Personality, but Queenie is running a close second to him. She's active all day and I was spending way too much time in Bob's shed watching her. Now I have moved her into the house because her tort table got ants and I am having a hard time getting rid of them. She kept digging around her table and I was starting to think she had OCDC, but it turns out she was digging and eating the ants...here's a couple pictures of that, I do not know how she could get a tiny ant with her stiff beak, but that's exactly what she was doing....eating ants... I wish I could get better pictures of it....

Maggie, Queenie must have the same philosophy I do if you get into my house your toast, no bugs allowed. Stay outside and don't bother the animals I have no problem and will leave you alone. Maybe Queenie just like the way they crunched.
She is just soooooo cute

Mind if I ask where you got the name Queenie from? I'm curious because theres a book I read with this name in it.

 

[Maggie Cummings]

I named her Queenie because she is so beautiful and regal...Queen like... so I just thought Queenie suited her...
