Corvid 19 and torts
 

Well it didn't take long, I have just taken in the most beautiful old female spurthigh that unfortunately has become part of all this shut down.
The lady said as she only has a small garden and cant get out as in lockdown for three months she cant get enough food for the tortoise so it has to go. :-|:-|

Goodness me she looks old but how lovely. x

What a shame. It had crossed my mind about how many people would be rehoming all different types of animals during lockdown if it goes on for months. We’ve luckily got plenty of food for all of ours but how can animals be rehomed when the shelters are closing and we need to practice social distancing?

She’s a lovely tort, Gordon.

Wow, she's absolutely gorgeous Gordon, lucky you.
It's very sad. I am very lucky to have a, lovely neighbour who enjoys gardening & sees my torts as the perfect reason to grow all sorts, weeds, organic lettuce, flowers. So she's growing plenty plus I keep finding carrier bags of lettuce hanging on a hook over the fence! each time she goes shopping.

She sounds a gem, Lynn. :-)

Or an iceberg !! :-D

She is stunning Gordon , lucky lady and cheer you up no end !

I am struggling - I have tons of pots with weeds but my lot are so piggy poo - queued for an hour and half today and nothing for torts ! got one lettuce left I mix with weeds and :shock: and some small chopped tomato.
One of mine saw a dandelion flower and went on a rampage to get it, CB
