Tortoise Time

Can you believe it..?  We broke down and got a pet for the kids for Christmas! (Well we gave it to them two days early.)  It was put in a candy box for transport so the kids were even more shocked when they opened it!
Just a little happy! "Rocky" is an African Spur tortoise.  He or she can live for 100 years and get as big as a huge tire. 
Lil' Rocky is a vegetarian and eats our produce scraps.  It works out great because I don't like wasting the scraps anyways!  It's very cute watching Rocky eat, he has the tiniest tongue.

Of course Rocky is very low maintenance which makes it manageable amongst our busy lives.
  We are happy to have him as part of the family!
