Christmas day treat!

Once a year, if he has been a good tort, I allow little Ovid to have a strawberry as a special treat! Here he is tucking in!

He seemed to enjoy it but now I have a nearly full punnet of strawbs that I guess I will have to finish off myself, what us tortoise owners do for their torts eh?

Ovid is very gorgeous! He certainly looks as if he enjoyed his Christmas treat.

Ovid is a lovely looking horsfield.

Lolly's annual treat is a blackberry. She really goes for it, and when she lifts her head afterwards the red juice around her face and running down her neck makes her look like a vampire tort!!!

It doesn't look like the strawberry lasted very long.

My boys had a fat strawberry each on Christmas day and a piece of mango. They loved the mango, first time they had one. I had to give 3 pieces because they started to fight about it. I had to have the rest for my breakfast, which was hard.
