The Guide To.....

On reading my newly acquired 'The Guide To Owning a Mediterranean Tortoise'
I learned that leaving a dish of egg shells around for Del-Boy is good for her as it will help her shell and bone growth.

Wanting to be a good mummy, yesterday after making myself an omelette i duly crushed the egg shells and put them in a bowl for Her Majesty to delight herself with.

Boy oh Boy did she get excited.

She literary dove head first into the bowl,
with her little legs dangling over the edge!

I thought it was cute so here are some pictures....






I have also learned that she may actually be a he....as the sex of a tortoise can only be determined when they reach the age of 4-6 years and Del-Boy is only 1.....
