Everyone loves the tropics. The sun, the warmth, the lush green – it looks as good as it feels and feels as good as it looks. And yet there are parts of living the tropical life that don’t get their fair share of praise. Take mud, for instance. It is so refreshing. So restorative. SoContinueContinue reading “Redfoot Tortoise Makes an Epic Mud Wallow”

Redfoot Tortoise Destroys Zucchini Plant
In our little flock, we have a saying. Plant it and she will come. And then she will eat it. And then it will be no more. So I guess the saying is more like a poem. Or a requiem. Zucchini plant, you will be missed. Especially by a certain redfooted someone.
Redfoot Tortoise Closeup With the Camera
When you have a face that loves the camera, you can absolutely expect the camera will love you back. It might even start following you around. Reason being….”cuteness.” You have it and every other being wants it. Luckily, the more attention you get (see “cuteness”) the more snacks you are likely to get. Even justContinueContinue reading “Redfoot Tortoise Closeup With the Camera”
Redfoot Tortoise Takes a Walk
Redfoot tortoises are roamers. Wild redfoots will freely wander searching for snacks. Pet redfoots will also freely wander searching for snacks. You never know when a snack may appear, so if you don’t see one right away, just keep walking. Sooner or later, or for however long it may take, you will eventually wander rightContinueContinue reading “Redfoot Tortoise Takes a Walk”
Redfoot Tortoise Climbs the Mountain
Can redfoot tortoises climb? Do redfoot tortoises climb? Yup. And yup. Right from hatchling-hood, Malti has tried to climb anything and everything. She especially loathes fences and barriers of any kind. (Anything can be a barrier, by the way, if it stands between her and something she wants, like any item that looks delicious.) NothingContinueContinue reading “Redfoot Tortoise Climbs the Mountain”
Day 364: A Very Relaxed Redfoot
Relaxation looks simple but it really isn’t. Plenty of amateurs think all you have to do to relax is drape a leg on something and – voila. Check that off the list. As if. These pretenders wouldn’t know real relaxation if they fell into it. Real relaxation is an art. First, you want to doContinueContinue reading “Day 364: A Very Relaxed Redfoot”
Day 359: The Tortoise and the Sea Turtle
There are some great perks to living an indoor/outdoor lifestyle as a redfoot tortoise. Your daily life is definitely more posh and personalized than most others of your kind. But cohabitating with the large shell-less beings (not to mention the small shrieking feathered species) can take some getting used to. Sometimes, you just need toContinueContinue reading “Day 359: The Tortoise and the Sea Turtle”
Day 356: Snuggles With Shells
Living in close quarters with beings of others species can require an ongoing commitment to education. Or, rather, re-education. Sure, it is true you enjoy a good refreshing outdoor mud wallow as much as the next being. After all, who doesn’t? But that doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate other comforts as well. Take snuggles, forContinueContinue reading “Day 356: Snuggles With Shells”
Day 353: The Red Dotted Snack Attractor
There is a reason chefs love the color red. It stimulates the appetite. Sometimes snack shop owners like to cover their whole establishment in red to ensure guests know what kind of enterprise they are running. Of course, when you are born literally covered in red dots, you don’t need those kinds of obvious cluesContinueContinue reading “Day 353: The Red Dotted Snack Attractor”
Day 350: A Very Green Redfoot
One of the (many) odd habits of the large shell-less beings is their tendency to stop everything just to have a snack. They might be walking along and all of a sudden their tummy grumbles. So they drop what they are doing – just like that – often heading off in a completely different directionContinueContinue reading “Day 350: A Very Green Redfoot”
