Night shifts

Writer's picture: TortoisefamilyArcherTortoisefamilyArcher

I have missed these two little tortoise terrors too much this week as Iā€™ve been on night shifts and only seen them fleetingly - when I get home I will go in to see them, have a little tortee chat, feed them some fresh leafy veggies or a few pellets (junk food delight), top up their water, give Gamera a little tortee hug as Tortilla is less toleratingšŸ˜‚.

They are by far a fantastic resource for the mind and wellbeing post and pre nights as they help me to relax, unwind, remove any busy-headedness from within (required when working shifts in healthcarešŸ˜Š). So after I fed them this morning, I had them crawling next to me, holding Gamera close to my face and neck I was talking with Alfie about whether Gamera is a girl or boy, considering her shorter thickened and wide butt-tail as Iā€™d noticed it was abit stubbier than usual (thinking ā€œohh my tortoise is quick to matureā€šŸ‘), as Alfie shouts ā€œitā€™s poo mum, the reason itā€™s stubby is because itā€™s got poo in it!ā€, whilst laughing, noticing his/her widening tail. I quickly put Gamera back in his house where he promptly pooped a massive dark green one out! Close call, looks more like a male pointy tail now tbh.

Here are 2 Gamera-selfies, I hope you like šŸ˜˜
