No not at all, as even the wild they just leave them like turtles.
They are just empty shells we think.

Well that is interesting having a tortoise at your wedding! Still no news on our eggs, not long to go if they are going to hatch!

There were 3 present - it was given to someone in 1929 so no one really knows how old it actually might be.

I rescued one yesterday.  I became aware of being watched ........ thought initially that it was one of my stone tortoises that I have round the pond but it was in the wrong part of the garden  :D.  It didn't withdraw when I picked it up.  How it crosses the road without getting squashed  :o no one knows - if it gets this far again I will keep it  ;).  Lots of lovely strawberry leaves here, grasses to choose from, undergrowth to hide in.   :whist: ......... it has a name but obviously doesn't return when it's called  ;D
