Remember this little guy?
Look how tiny!
We discussed their hearty appetite, right? Yeah. Feed an Indian star tortoise well, and 7 weeks later, you get this:
Look! I can see myself! I’m pretty!
Yes, they’ve doubled in size, with no sign of slowing down. Impressive, no?
Wait! Don’t EAT the quarter! You might have a problem, little friend. I didn’t want to be the one to tell you, but…

ZOMG, “ass’s.” I’m dying. That’s a total autocorrect win in my book.
Tortoise eating a quarter! Nom nom nom. Look how big they’re getting! If you pick them up, do they try to nibble your fingers, too?

They don’t unless you’re wearing brightly colored fingernail polish. Then all bets are off because you look all fruity and delicious.

ha ha ha! We’re sure their butts are cute but we never get to see them! Do they have sharp teeth or would they gnaw you to death?

They don’t have any teeth at all actually.

Love it! Both the picture and the autocorrect. Sometimes I can’t even blame autocorrect.

The more I read your blog, the more I’m tempted to get a tortoise.

They are cuter than the Care Bears! I could just pinch their wittow cheekies. Do they have cheekies? The face kind, I mean.

They’re too little to pinch, but I passed on the sentiment. They were happy.
