Ruby's first time outside in 18 years

cherylahutch · 20-04-2014, 03:19 AM

Tortoise enclosure needs a good sort out but thought Ruby deserved to feel the sunshine on her shell after 18 years or so living inside. She had a great time exploring. Don't worry she didn't eat any of the weeds that need pulling out I know there are some that are no good for tortoises in there at the moment but I was with her when she was out. She seems to be really happy and healthy despite the care she's had not being 100% how it should be.

That must have felt very satisfying for you Cheryl, being able to see her enjoy a wander in the sunshine

I wonder what she is making of her new life, it would be interesting if we could mind read! She looks great

Well done you for giving her a life back

A special moment for you both. She's so beautiful.

Look at that adorable face, bless her, she has a wonderfully smooth shell Cheryl, my adults will only eat what they like anyway, so I don't worry about the bad weeds, unless they are poisonous ofcourse x

Awww bless her heart, she's going to be soooo happy with you.

Just a small observation Cheryl, BUT do you know there's a crock in your garden.
