2 hyperactive tortoises
Well i don't know whats come over my 2 today but one would think they have been given some serious pep pills... from waking up today they have not stopped running around their indoor enclosure.
They have "climbed every mountain ", uprooted the plants, pushed and shoved the log rolls around and then eaten like there was no tomorrow..they have been running around so fast it was like they had turbo power. they didn't even stop to poo, just did it as they went along ...LOL Must be spring in the air..at last... |

Your tortoises are probably reacting to the outside temperatures. When its warmer outside
they seem to know, and are generally more active. Telling you they want to be out rather than in<g>.

Mine are doing the same, they were so eager to go out friday so i popped them in the garden so they could find their own lunch. I thought they would slow down after half an hour or so but they were running everywhere they loved it. Then again the sun was quite warm I ended up staying outside with them for one and a half hours. I've got sum pics actually will post them soon.
