hahaha my hubby keeps asking exactly how many times in a day i need to go into the garden and look at the tortoises in their houses!!! As many as I blooming well like is the answer. Well for a man the says he wasnt keen on tortoises he has gone from saying we will keep one of the hatchlings to keeping all three if they all hatch!!!! He loves the old crustys really
