Love Walking Rock.

Thanks Yvonne!

He says "Leave Me Alone" ALOT... to our puppy Fiona, who is now 25 lbs and likes to lick WalkingRock on the face when he is trying to walk or eat. I'm really surprised he hasn't tried to charge her yet!

Thanks! Strawberries are a rare treat because Sulcatas don't do sugars very well but he does love them when he gets them!:p

He just turned 13 in July. Cathie has had him since he hatched, so we're pretty certain of his age!:)

Strawberries! They show up.... he takes them out! :p

Got it. Funny. Like Tom, I thought I was missing something or there was more to come.

Good to see you post again, I see he has put a little weight on.

Thanks Len.... and yes he has! he would gain more if the puppy didn't take food off his plate and out of his mouth!

I have no certainty of Bowser's age. He was a "stray" wondering the streets. The man who found him waited a week for an owner to come up but no one ever did. I had been helping him with how to care for the tortoise while it was in his care. Then he asked if I could take it in.
