Love love love ❤️ ❤️❤️ 

Careful it won't bite! 

OMFG - Wish I had one - honest! 💛💛💛 On more or less the same note. Aren't you beautiful? You look very happy. A joy! 

Chestnut I’m immune been nipped so many times! But tbh mine are so tame and used to me that unless I’m holding food they don’t bite! They all love me too much! ❤️ 

Leah get one! They make such friendly, loyal and loving pets! They just take a lot of care, same as any animal with different needs really I suppose ! ❤️❤️ 

And leash only just actually read that post properly (sorry was cleaning up the tortoise poop earlier while replying) thank you so much for the lovely compliment! ❤️❤️❤️ Making me blush  

Lol meant Leah not leash 🤦🏼‍♀️ 

Oh grrrr PrincessLeia 

LOL - you are making me laugh. All good - talking about tortoises, yeah... I am seriously considering having one. What a gorgeous little thing! They do live longer than other pets I suppose? 

Yes depending what sub species you have my big girls can both live up to 100 on average my mini penny 50 years ! But don’t be fooled by the stereotype of tortoises being slow , they are sharp as a button and move when they want to, one minute they are there next vanished sometimes Penny completely hides herself it’s a fun game going into the enclosure at tea time trying to find them all. They are awesome at camouflage as well believe it or not!  

My olivia is 20 now she’s been with me a while. Meshell is 11 and Penny is 9  

There’s a group on Facebook for people wanting to rehome it’s called Tortoise rehoming uk! Take a look  

Or if you fancy I’m going to be breeding again next year ❤️  

I am keeping an eye on your breeding period Sharshar001 - I like the idea of them living longer lives. I can't imagine how terrible it would be to lose one of them. I think that's why I have not invested a great deal of time thinking about having pets.  

I lost my boy Leo last year he was only 19 😔 he got a sinus infection and altho we took him to the vets early it travelled to his lungs and finally after a month of trying various things he started to bring up blood as he was breathing and the infection took hold of his lungs I was devastated. So the vets and myself agreed the best thing was to end his suffering he couldn’t even open his eyes as it was too much effort. it was heart breaking! Like losing one of my best friends! Makes my heart hurt thinking about it now 😢  

I’ll post a pic of him later once I’ve done dinner! He was huge  

So sorry to hear about that Sharshar - I do know how you feel - trust me. 💛💛💛
