Our big female red-foot tortoise has recently learnt a new trick - how to escape from her tortoise table. At first we were not too concerned about her escaping and taking a little stroll. There really isn't too much trouble for her to get into and she is a very curious tortoise so it's good for her to peek in at her neighbours. We would just put her back in the evening and she would climb back out around mid morning after she had eaten and sat under her heat/UV lamp for a while. It was a nice routine.
Having Bella chase us around looking for attention was cute until today when we learnt why we keep her in an enclosure. Bella decided she needed to poop on the floor and this wasn't your run of the mill just-clean-it-up-with-a-damp-cloth-and-your-good-to-go poop, this was the king of poops. And the king of all poops 10 times on the carpet and stuck to the bottom of her shell and feet and all over EVERYTHING poops. It took over 10 minutes to clean these poops!
Tomorrow we'll be heading to the hardware store to buy some lumber - and rent a carpet cleaner. I wasn't prepared to clean the carpets again until my birthday in November but I'll have to suck it up as I love my animals and I love laying on my carpet and playing with them.
