Omg! bet the tortoise became sick...they cannot handle protein this way. Amazing to see this. Tito does not know how to bite to attack or protect himself unlike...say...a snapping turtle for example...purely a defensive animal...Do not know the aggressive behavior of a huge tortoise, but, Holy Shit... Thanks for sharing....I am blown away...

Tito just ate a huge plate of Kale, had seconds and gobbled down one cut up strawberry. He missed a couple bites of strawberry and I hand fed them to him...then wiped his lower mouth area and he ambled off to the corner of the dining area of our great room....Tomorrow, he will wake up about 9am and watch us for a while then head to the sliding glass door and we will let him out into the backyard for the day....at 3pm I search for him and bring him into the house for a plate of kale and the process repeats.... Not sure how long this will continue, but he is bulking up for the upcoming brumination where he sleeps for about 6 months... His diet is kale, grass from a patch of bemuda grass we have and flower pedals from a Texas Ranger shrub. No birds, thank you!

Best,
Phil
Ever try dandelion greens? We had a bearded dragon that consumed that with silk worms for protein. Seems those greens got a pile of vitamins. Kale was another green we fed him. He made it 20 years. They normally don’t last that long.

Hi Rick,

No dandelions in our yard...strictly Rocks and some weeds which I burn with a weeding torch. Tito mostly feeds on Kale..... But not now as he is in brumation in the corner of our great room...Margie made him a little tent which he loves. Won't see him until next April or early May....

Best,
Phil

My Dad was a Clint Eastwood type who would cause you to wither under his stare. When he retired, he bought a chihuahua and dressed her in bows and dresses. Precious, but I never saw that coming! :LOL:

Part of my ranger vs f-150 internal struggle is wondering whether my Newfie + a future dog is too much canine for a Ranger. Cute pet pix everyone, btw! 100lb and growing puppy for reference

My St. Bernard and Great Pyranese fit fine in my SCrew. Backseat or bed, they ride in the bed exclusively now, sick of cleaning slobber from windows and seats.

Tito in for a long winter's sleep called Brumation, similar to hibernation.

Margie's tent for Tito...
