That turtle reshuffling at the end to give everyone a chance to eat brings me joy.

WOW! Never saw turtles react so robustly to stimuli! Are they responding to the sound or vibrations from his footsteps? The sound of the plates scraping against each other? Is feeding time the only time a person enters their space?

Cute.. but this just makes me remember when I could get down on my knees and get up again without needing assistance.. 😶🤣😂🤣😂

I love that he makes sure everyone is getting some. 🐢 🐢 🐢

The tortoise theme song is Lettuce entertain you

Sorting the wee critters to make sure everyone got enough to eat was my favorite part. Was this turtle socialism?
-
Ignore everything else and just watch their little running legs. Herd of Turtles.

Miss our desert turtle! In PHX, AZ he would come out of hibernation on Halloween.

Like being surrounded by a horde of ravenous pine cones.

To make sure each turtle is treated fairly, he takes his time 'shelling' out the veggies... Showing Care-a-pace

Chasca sometimes wakes up after a rain around February after a rain but goes back under until May or early June. A couple of years ago she was wandering around on a Nov day w/ the temp at 40 degrees & I freaked out! She's usually gone by late Sept as we hit 60 degrees or lower at night. So soon!

This is what humans are supposed to be doing on this planet: taking care of each other and the flora and fauna we share this earth with.

I’ve always wondered what a turtle buffet would look like 🐢💕

No wonder they live so long…They eat their greens!

Oh my goodness! All these perfect 🥰 babies!!!

Garden State Tortoise!! A regular on Sunday!

Came here to say this very thing, some people are so kind to animals, it’s remarkable and heartwarming, as St. Francis is this patron saint of my town, I know that I am where I belong!
-
I wonder about the turtle’s reaction to being randomly plucked from one plate to be redeposited at a different plate by mysterious all powerful deity?
-
After seeing this, I may just shut the computer down for the day. Not much better than this, and a whole lot worse…
-
The best part of this is the keeper, making sure that every single turtle has a place at the plates.❤️❤️❤️

Having been raised with 3 sisters and 3 brothers, this is vaguely familiar, but a lot slower.
-
OMG it's an itty bitty tortoise stampede! 😍😍😍
-
I once made a joke about my job duties included "ensuring even distribution of kittens" because of feeding time chaos. This dude has to ensure even distribution of TURTLES and I LOVE IT
-
They are not slow! If I spot Chasca and go in to get her meal ready and come out she is gone. I have no idea where she goes sometimes but she's so fast!
