Musings about my entertaining and pampered indoor pet tortoise and her sibling Nemo the Eastern Box Turtle.

Grumpy Nemo on the Log
Nemo was full of surprises today. This morning, when I first woke up, I found him lounging next to his food dish. I had not emptied it of yesterday's non-eaten yummy red fruit turtle food. It was a lovely sight since that is where I usually found him last year pre-hibernation. I gave him fresh food including some hard boiled egg which he hadn't been offered in a long time.
He nosed at the egg and meandered off and stuck his nose in a corner. Hmmmphhhh. At least he was considering eating it?? Later I found him basking on his log! He had such a grumpy look on his face it was comical. But bask he did. Yay!
We can only hope he is easing back into a healthy routine of actually eating food supplements so he gets proper vitamins. My gut tells me he decided to reclaim his log after Linus had the photoshoot with the sandals and sunglasses.
