Hahaha!

What a good idea though. I never would have thought to use undies to hold the diaper on with! :D

Regardless, I'm sure he'll be happier going commando...

Wow! You can sure tell by the cleanliness of that body and skin that those people were pretty picky about keeping the tortoise and his environment clean. (However, I'd hate to be the one to have to clean off all that smelly mooshed in poop when the stinky diaper is removed. No wonder they've re-homed him.)

I have found that tortoises like those in his situation don't understand the concept of grazing. Be sure the folks where he's going to live now understand and watch to be sure he knows how to find food.

Man those are some bright colors. looks like he had a regimented skincare routine haha.

I wonder if he will take to the mud and dirt like other tortoises or will he remain a pretty boy? Like Alfafa in the Little Rascals!
