>>Can't get anything over on these torts..
You've got that right! Can't get anything over on them. lol
Our tortoise is large so she lives outside but she has her heated home out there. Where we live there are a lot of days in winter when she can come outside because it's warm enough for her.
In Dec. my DH was outside getting all the Christmas stuff out of the storage building & there are several boxes so he was back & forth.
I heard him out there talking to somebody, I heard "What do you think you're doing?" I'm thinking OMG what's going on? Who's out there? What kind of trouble is it?
Yeah it was Destiny LOL.
Destiny was IN the storage building wandering around exploring & he had a heck of a time getting her out of there because it's pretty crammed full of stuff.
Until then she'd never tried to hoist herself up that step to get up in there. It is raised up off the ground & there is a full step that she had to climb to get inside.
What a smart-alec tortoise LOL.
