Our little Rocket has turned two on 25th August. I could not
believe that it has only been a year and a day since we brought her home.
We had a lot
of fun in the past year – watching her „surf“ her food bowl every morning, run
perimeter checks of her tortoise table, climb her house and rocket down to face
plant into the substrate, growing her food and letting her explore the lawns in
front of our building, introducing her to our little niece and of course worrying about
her when something doesn´t look quite right, because she is our little baby.
I am also
very proud and happy that she is growing, slowly but surely. At least once a month
I weigh her on kitchen scales and use digital calipers to measure the
straight length of her carapace (the top half of the shell).
