Take-a-way treat for Leopards

laine21 · 16-06-2007, 08:25 PM

Our poor guys have not been out in the garden for days,

I checked the weather forcast....and we have another 10 days of rain forcast for the northwest,

so we went to get some grass turf from B&Q and have cut it to size and put them into seed trays with top soil in.......Hey Presto, take-a-way for Torts, B&q style! Have left the trays out in the rain for them to get a good watering (and a clean to wash the soil off the top, from them being rolled up) and will put them in the indoor enclosure one at a time, swapping them each day. The guys already have a tray planted with edible plants to nibble at. As soon as the weather and grass outside is dry the guys will go back outside.

We had a good afternoon today, so I put them out, talk about racing tortoises! I think they were making up for lost time in the garden. They enjoyed the sun.....and my petunias!
