My friend has a red foot. He takes him outside almost every day as long as it’s not raining. He reads while his tortoise walks around grazing. He keeps close watch though since the tortoise is still small and also because it’s not the brightest tortoise and will try to eat anything it sees. It also almost got its head stuck in a hole in the ground. But he loves the thing lol

I play "Kick-the-Can" with mine. I place it in a long narrow alleyway and take a running start, then kick it as hard as I can towards the goal at the other end of the alleyway. He doesn't seem to enjoy it very much.

Would it be wrong to create a maze for your tort to walk through? You could always put a nice reward (yum yum tort food) at the end. It would give your tort some good exercise. And one could see if the tort remembers and or walks it faster the next time. Obviously it would need to be a tort safe maze.

Yvonne you are just terrible. [emoji33] [emoji33] You better hope your torts don't eat magic beans and grow into giants then decide to return the favour [emoji6]
