10 Reasons Tortoises are a GREAT pet

1. They don’t bark (unless they’re mating, then it’s funny as hell)

2. Your other animals (and you) can outrun them, even if they’re chasing at full speed

3. Unlike children, they can’t babble and pester to buy ‘em stuff.

4. They will eat what you can grow, no need for a grocery store visit. They can mow your lawn.

5. They appreciate the simple things in life; sunshine, a good soak, some dirt to dig in, tidbit treats, and shade on a blistering summer afternoon.

6. They live so long, you can grow old with them.

7. They remind us of prehistoric times, of ancient animals, the wonder of nature, and the diversity of life

8. They show us life doesn’t always have to be fast paced. It’s okay to take it easy now and then and just chill.

9. They don’t mind getting dirty.

10. They spark wonder in the eyes of a child.

It's relaxing to have a nice quiet animal to watch.
Rabbits are kinda the same way for me. You learn their body
language & the "look on their face" when they are content or not, which sounds crazy, but it isn't really !
