12 weeks of pent up frustration

Suze65 · 08-03-2013, 02:16 PM

As some of you may know, my old herman male is very old and quite frail these days, so I decided not to hibernate him this winter, it seems to of done him the world of good. I got the other torts up last Saturday,and he was very pleased to see Jemima. there hasnt been much tortoise baby making activity in the last few years due to Sammy becoming so frail,he usualy can't keep up with Jemima any more!!!!!! not so now, after 3 days of trying to climb on her back, he finally got there, this is the result......

He is now after anything that moves, I think I have created a monster

He really did miss Jemima when she was in hibernation!!!
How old is he Suze?

Suze65 · 08-03-2013, 03:49 PM

Emma, he is a considerable age, he could be close to 100 years, but I do know he's very very old, and had given up on those sort of things!!!! But seems to have a new lease of life, so I'm hoping for babies.

hehehe good on him!
clearly you did just the right thing from them!
and after all absence makes the heart grow fonder!

awww lovely picture. Have these two produced eggs before Suze?

(I havent got my males up yet, thinking of tomorrow. Got girls up first to give them time to adapt)

He's just fabulous! What an incredible age.

Fingers crossed his efforts were worthwhile.
