I simply cannot express how happy your animals seem to become when living outside in their enclosures hits high gear. They get running, and eating…somewhere between a dance and a rugby game.🖤🇨🇦

My tortoise loves when I put her nutritious tortoise Keble onto a cucumber or spinach ❤❤❤

My Russian tortoise adored strawberry leaves! If I get another tort I'd definitely be using garden boxes to grow more strawberries. I'll eat the fruit, and the tort can have the leaves!
