Hi Hive's Pedestrian,
long time no see guys. I just want to share you guys something that maybe interesting for you guys. Especially you who really are have another level of commitment to animals.

Week ago I decided to take a shot of my Tortoises with my camera, not much just a a couple photos for my pet. The name of my pets is Sunshine and 4k. I don't why it took so long to to show you guys in this particular community but I guess it just a matter of work flow that I can't handle recently. I got a little time for now to write this blog and show you guys.

So without further due, LETS GO !!!

These are my Tortoise the big one is Sunshine and the small one is 4k. This routine I do it almost every morning to bask them with the water for 30 minutes and then let them play around at porch under the sun for a couple of hour. This was 10 am in the morning and the day getting dark because nowadays is kind of raining season.

Here is an example of them playing around and eating and doing a Tortoise stuff. They dont really interact with human more like they so shy around human considering the type and the kind of the Tortoises, not every Tortoise are shy, some of them are brave and not shy at all like Aldabra or Burmese star or Radiated Tortoise.

For personality Sunshine has a Thuggish mental rather than 4K. 4k is dead serious shy animal, but he eats a lot.

Sunshine always runing around and eventually come to me under my squat. Precisely under my squat, thats some fun fact about Tortoises when you squat in front of them they usually come to you and kin od rest under the squat. This kind of behaviour sometimes happen in smaller size Tortoises.

This exactly the behaviour after he eats a lot, take a rest baasking for a bit and then find another food and eventually... take a shit. Remind me of my father.

Like I said he really enjoying food especially pellets and Hibiscus flower. I don't know hy but according to the Tortoise guidence it was one of the best food for them. So I just take it from my garden and give it to them.

Sometimes this really worry me a lot, they seems like to eat a stone outside so I just have really to pay attention when I let them play around. Some vets say it was an act of calcium need something like thta, but I just dont really understand considering I gave them a propher amount of calcium.
