They grind.


And they eat flowers with their big-mouthed friends.


The hits just keep coming from Carrie T.

      Mamabear, one of my favorite things about turles/tortoises is how they always look like really, really digruntled, grouchy old men.

    Love the second picture! Longest, chewiest, most edible version of “He loves me, he loves me not!” EVER! :D

    I used to have tortoises, before importing them was (rightly) banned. I was always amazed at how wide they could open their moufs.

    Aaaww, look at that tongue-action, he`s SOOOO ready to nom the rest of that flower, lol!
    I had one of these once actually. I saved him from being put under because no one wanted him (I called him Pelle) and he was so sweet! Hi loved it when I stroke his bald head, lol, his neck stretched out and he looked like an old man that was slowly falling to sleep while his head pressed agains my finger for more scritch-action :)
    He used to sleep in my sweater because it was his favourite place to cuddle in when I went to bed. (but I had a cage for him that was his home, but I let him cuddle in my sweater too) I took him with me everywhere.
    Aaww, I miss his bald little head now…*sob*

    Spelling police: It’s helmet. Helmut is a Germanic name. Unless turt is owned by a German gentleman, then he does have his own Helmut. :)

    Bitte können wir eine Zunge-Hance? :)

    Why walk when you can ride. Am I right?

    Thanks Pookie & Rachael :)
    Haha, you have heard about that movie, Kar!?
    But actually the reason for my Turtles name, was that he always wanted to “pelle” on everything. “Pelle” in Norwegian can mean to pick at something or pick something up, or being explorative and not being able to not touch at everything, but wonder what this or that is. Kind of like the thing babies do, can not leave anything alone! He was a VERY curious turtle so I called him Pelle because he always had to go see what things were :)
    *sniff* He was so cute.
    Haha, maybe I should try and find a picture of him and send it in to CO! Have to scan it first because this was in 1980, lol.
    I forgot how much I love those turtlers…

    • Kar says:

      Pelle the Conqueror is probably the most depressing movie I’ve ever seen but I so rooted for that little guy.

      Adds another layer of context to that movie.

    I think he’s disapproving in the top pic because his legs don’t quite reach. Ehn!!
