How old is Josie.Gee

Deida...
are you asking a lady tortoise to reveal her age ? Lol.
10 Sep, 2009
When she had a visit to the vet last year he estimated her to be between 80-100 years old. She weights approx 7lb and eats a far greater variety of plants than the other two, her favourites are hibiscus and hardy geranium flowers (when she can reach them). That's why there is not many low growing colourful flowers in my garden :)

Is it next month when they hibernate(think i spelt that wrong,another senior moment Gee)
10 Sep, 2009
Yes, it is, Clarice (and there's nothing wrong with your spelling). The two girls will hibernate but Little 'Un will spend the winter under a lamp in my dining room again :)

Oh a bit bigger than the one i looked after recently, my friend took 'him' to the vets to get nails clipped and apparently rather than a Theo she's a Theona LOL!!!! Only about 3 years old and grown a lot, there are some pics on one of my blogs (called babysitting!) in case you havent seen them Gee
