Technical advice required for Male Whitei
We are in need of a technical diagram for a male Algerian Tortoise!
Timmy arrived back home with us just after 1.30pm today, The weather was freezing and still a little foggy when we got back, so we brought him in the house since then he has Charged round the front room Tried to Eat Richards jeans, head butted the sofa, the bookcase, the televison cabinet, Claire's leather recliner, the door and the skirting board so as he had a little energy we put him in the enclosure outside...just for a little while Outside in the enclosure he charged around, up and down the slope to the tort's raised 'patio' area, in and out of the cold frame and kennel, up along and down the mound, trampled the weeds, butted the wall, the fence, the kennel, the coldframe and the bushes. Back in the conservatory, he butted the dividing barrier between him and the whitei girls, butted the sofa, the table and his box As I was cooking lasagne for the dinner I let him into the back of the house, (kitchen, breakfast room and dining room are all open plan) he was 'exploring' Chased Jade, our 9 year old cavi spaniel, butted the fireplace, cooker, fridge, dogs water bowl, welsh dresser, the table legs, chairs, dogs football........then he discovered Richards shoes he uses in the garden.........for over 20 minutes he has butted and mounted......but not flashed, (from what I could see) The girls are now interested.......the pair of them are trying to break down the barrier to get to him.............. I am sitting here typing this, and can hear him butting the table in the conservatory! and I am in the front room, he is going to give himself a headache! AND ITS NOT EVEN 6 O'CLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Please where are his batteries located?

Bindi, those girls will be rationed! they will wear the poor little man out!
Lyn, I'm happy Timmy has made you laugh, I will let him know he is making more than just us laugh at his antics! He has been up since before 7 this morning! and he is now out in the enclosure racing round.............we may rename him speedy gonzales! Kay and Lolly he is certainly supercharged since his hibernation!
