Gahhh, I love turtles, and this one seems so personable!! Doesn't the roundness of her shell seem like an open invitation to cuddle?!

And I agree, she ought to be eating something more palatable than dried leaves.

ewwwwww Ranch. I vote we give the Turtle some lovely spring with sugared pecans and a strawberry vinegrette dressing.

Followed by a fruit compote.

It's like a slow motion version of kids jumping into a pile of leaves!

PS Does anyone else get those internet ads on local TV where the turtles are talking about how they like dial-up 'cause it's slow?

I'm not exactly sure I'd think of a large, prehistoric-looking turtle as "cute". But it certainly has *presence*, and an earthy kind of dignity.

Ahem. That is not a turtle. Methinks it is a tortoise.

Renee.... yes, we do here in Seattle. Silly commercials those are. And I don't see any "cute" in testudines (a land-dwelling reptile of the order Testudines.) Sorry. Usually cute=soft & cuddly to me.

For those of you curious about the tiger cub whose video we so enjoyed a few weeks ago, here are some updates:
1-24-07: Cub continues to eat well and gaining weight; now at 11.9 pounds!

1-28-07: Dr. Kelly approved short visit outside in nursery yard. It was 55 degrees and sunny. Monitered her outside for 20 minutes. She explored cautiously, mostly stayed near me, but I think that was because she was hungry! She did not appear to get cold and her temperature was normal after her 3:00 p.m. bottle.

Definitely a tortoise. Which is good, because tortoises are much cuter than turtles.

Tortoises are cuter than turtles?

I beg to differ:

I have a soft spot for sea turtles after snorkeling with them in Hawaii.

"Testudines"! Best. Word. EVAR. Thanks, Musicchick! I'm using this today! Sounds vaguely naughty . . . heehee . . . .

And, yes, they look like cranky, greenish old men, but I don't care! They're still cute. I'd cuddle one for sure.

 |  Jan 31, 2007 at 07:05 AM

'Tis indeed a Toitoise, not a Toikle.

Veddy cute though. I'm guessing he's digging for worms and bugs under those leaves.

Hey Renee, I just saw the turtle commercial last night(North Tx), and thought it was great! Reminds me of my husband! I, too, love turtles! Had a pewter turtle on top of our wedding cake with a piece of my veil hotglued to her shell! (husband's was a pewter bird dog with a Monopoly top hat glued on his head.) But I digress...great photo!

If round=cute becomes a new rule, then turtles and tortoises are automatically cute.

 |  Jan 31, 2007 at 08:27 AM

What a cute wittle turtoise mouf!

But do they usually eat dried leaves? Those leaves don't look very appetizing.

Noel
 |  Jan 31, 2007 at 08:56 AM

I LURVE turtles. I like the way they move. So slow and methodical. Wish I could pet this cutie.

I love turtles- I got so angry when Fudge ate Peter's turtle.

Also: Thanks for the update, musicchick!! The video is adorable! I mean, the tiger is adorable! (The video-er needs to pan back a bit more though.)

i have looked online and see no reference to dried leaves as a healthy tortoise diet. I wonder what is going on here.

kelly
 |  Jan 31, 2007 at 09:12 AM

Kelly...It is common for a tortoise to eat leaves when other dietary preferences are scarce.

Deb
 |  Jan 31, 2007 at 10:02 AM

Well, I've also never seen references to shoes, books, blankets, duvets, human clothing, and other sundry household items as a healthy diet for rats or rabbits, but they seem to disagree.

For example, here is my late rat Skunky when he was an adolescent:
http://www.danceswithrats.com/images/paper.jpg

And here is Skunky as an old man:
http://www.danceswithrats.com/images/skunkyeatsbook.jpg

These were taken while I was in grad school, by the way. I'm sure you can imagine how pleased I was when the rats all decided to decorate my books and notes.

Oh, ALSO, I don't think wine is recommended as a great rat beverage, but Guapo here *hic* disagrees:

 |  Jan 31, 2007 at 12:51 PM

I wouldn't mind Mr. Tortise coming to my yard and cleaning up my leaves. As for them moving slow, I beg to differ. I would often petsit a Russian Land Tortise and boy could he move. You would blink and he would be across the room.
