Tortoise Crisis!


After getting over an inch of rain yesterday, Spencer's tunnel caved in on him. I found him this morning, looking confused and depressed... as if a tortoise ever changes their facial expressions. I contemplated digging him out, but decided he may be warmer staying packed in the mud.


The temporary solution has been to add a heat lamp to his precarious situation and hope for the best. Jeff and I will have to come up with something a little more permanent to keep him warm through the winter. Spencer is going to have to do a lot of digging to repair that tunnel!

I'm obsessed that you guys have a tortoise! It cracks me up! Who's idea was it to get one? I wish we lived closer, I think William would love him.
