@thesalamander.bsky.socialOne of the great things about having a herd of tortoises is people give you fruit and vegetables that go bad for people but are good for tortoises. They prefer over ripened fruit. A friend donated a bunch of mushy strawberries and the redfoots love them! 🐢🐢

I thought it was probably birds (still might be!) but I’ve just seen a squirrel stuffing his face 🤣
