I don't have a large freezer, just the one on top of my fridge which I like, but my MIL used to have a fridge that had the freezer on the bottom. Oh my, I really hated that. Cheri |

They allow visitors to feed them (with food they sell for this purpose), but recommend that the food be left on the ground so you can watch them walk over to it. Robert |

LOL - I do frequently, Robert, often with expletives :P Unfortunately, he gets up and goes to work before the damntortoise wakes up. And she normally does get her food left on the ground - but for some things, like strawberries or peach slices which are a particular treat for her, she can't get a grip on them to bite them - so fingers are the easiest solution. I point out that she doesn't attempt to bite anyone else's fingers; she just doesn't like me. Grrr. Nicky. T2 dx 05/04 + underactive thyroid D&E, 100ug thyroxine Last A1c 5.3% BMI 25 |

Maybe she knows you don't like her? Try generating kindness and loving feelings for her beforehand. See if it affects her attitude. It's odd, I didn't realize tortoises had such feelings. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind. Sit like a mountain floating on the earth. Breathe like the wind circling the world |
