The dance of a constipated tortoise....

alotoffluff · 26-03-2009, 02:04 PM

I know i shouldnt laugh but.....
I wish i had filmed it!!!

Fluffy was having his daily recreational earlier and he started this little dance.... head in, head out, head in, head out, bum up, bum down, bum up, bum down, tilt onto his side one way, then the other way, stretch the back legs, then push up, down again, up again.

He mustve repeated this about a 100 times and did loads of wees in the process!
It was soooo funny.I honestly thought Fluffy was gonna go red in the cheeks!
Even my husband stopped to watch and ended up having hysterics!
Eventually he, (Fluffy, not my husband), managed to pass a GIGANTIC poo and went on his way!
Today i gave a little bit of lettuce and cucmber in with his weeds just to help out, and he seems fine!
Oh the joys of a constipated tortoise!

Poor Fluffy absolutly no privacy!

At least he has sorted his self out now and he must feel so much better after getting rid of it!

He almost had a smile on his face when it passed!

I feel better too, it was funny to watch but i did wanna kind of help him get it out! LOL I was almost straining for him!
