Leah, There's a Tortoise in My Garden...

Today I got a phone-call from my friendling to say her doggie had got hold of a tortoise. Due to the fact that I have a tortoise myself and am in some way obsessed with the little cuties, she rang me for help on the subject. I walked down and then we both walked back to mine with the tortoise in a bucket! We named the little sweetie, Eric.

However when we introduced Eric to my tortoise Sawyer, after a little bath, Eric had, as it were, strong urges for him. So I had to seperate them as Sawyer clearly didn't want it. We looked all over the internet for his species but could only guess at a spur-thigh of some kind. Then whilst he continued rampaging Sawyer's house, we made flyers for a lost tortoise and posted them through doors.

When I got home I got a phone-call from my friend to say that Eric's real name is Tank and she had found his owner. Aparently they were given him as every person who has had him have had issues with him raping other tortoises. I felt bad and slightly concerned that I had exposed my tortoise to him.
