On the inside looking out

Hey, I remember that patio! But I was always outside trying to get in. Now I wish I could go outside, walk wherever I want and eat whatever I find in the yard again. I'm pretty tired of being indoors so they let me explore a little more so I won't get bored.

My tortoise mom made a little obstacle course in my exercise area of the kitchen. I'm not impressed as it's more like a speed bump, but I'll do whatever it takes to rebuild my muscles!

Anatomy lesson

The diamond-shaped plates on my shell between the two pieces of tape on my feeding tube shows approximately where my stomach is, or at least how far the feeding tube goes past my esophagus and into my stomach. That way I can't choke when they feed me and I still get to enjoy eating my green leafies myself. I haven't been wild about hibiscus flowers yet, but I'm sure my jaw muscles will get strong enough to enjoy them again too. Meanwhile, I like my lettuce straight up--fresh, cold and crispy!
