Recap of My Turtles' Behaviour

31st March: Woke up from their long hibernation period, they got their first dip of water. Timon (the female one) used it to wash her face;while Pumbaa (the male one) drank a lot!!! Timon got her first fart this year, and had a palm face!!! Then I decided to give them each a nail-treatment. Well, Timon, that girl, seemed enjoyed it very much; but I guess Pumbaa hated it, because he cried in silence--AAAAAAH!!!

14th April: With the warmer weather, Timon started biting shrimp. And she remembered the silver tool I used to feed her last year!!! Pumbaa still hadn't the appetite. Instead, he showed his male character by patrolling his territory and, sometimes, stared at me with a tilting head which is so cute!!!

29th April: It was Pumbaa's turn to start biting. Under the mild sunshine, Timon could fall in sleep within 10 seconds after a full meal. Her slogan may be "Stuffed,Sleep, and Stronger!!!"

During the whole month of May, I tried to teach them how to prey.But that trial was failed due to swift movements from the prey part. Shortly, Timon got tired of such vain chasing and set her angry out towards me by biting my finger. That hard bite from such a little thing--only 5 or 6 centimetre in diameter can hurt me at least 30 seconds!!!
According to my observation, animals have a sort of sense that can tell the good and the evil!!! My appearance might mean "oh, food is coming!!!"

Yoga Pose Collection

Look that Plank Pose!!! It seems my little yoga turtles are not aliens which really makes me sad because I thought they've got talent!!! [sobbing]  OK. I'm just kidding^^ XD  Oh, By the way, my two little turtles are in good health. They grow stronger day by day!!! They even fight for food!!! Haaa~~

May God Bless My Little Ill Turtle

First of all, I want to explain why I raise turtle.I was adviced that if you can't bare the lose of pets like dogs who spend their whole lives with you, then choose to be part of turtles' life!!! 


Now, my turtle-raising story comes: 
I'm busy doing something for my little ill turtle Pumbaa(one of two that I bought last December,Timon and Pumbaa) these days.There is something wrong with his eyes that he can't open them for nearly a week which really worries me, because, according my web research, this eye disease may retard his movements, reduce his appetite, and finally, cost his life!!! I drop eye-drops for him three times a day and bath him for a while, then, let him settled in dry condition alone!!! While, when there is a will there is a way! It really works a little bit. This morning his eye were opened for a while! Encouraging news^^ Though he still refuses to eat something! I believe he will get better and better.


While,the another little one is a she(Timon)^^ Oh,she is very active these day since the spring comes. Bites a lot every day, swimming and crawling swiftly like something else but the turtle!!! I enjoy watch her consuming her energy!!! Haa~~ 


There is an interesting story(I shall call it) about she. That was a very sunny day. After enjoying snail meat which is her favourite food, I thought I should give her more room to excise a little. So, I put her onto the ground of my balcony which is very big in my neighborhood and which is surrounded by flowers in basins. She was "standing" there with four limbs withdrew in her shell, scouting surrounding environment. Emm~~ What a prudential mind!!! Haa~~ Well, noticing no danger at all, she started to action!!! Now miracle happened!!! After a few steps made, she stopped and turned her head towards me(I was standing behind her and kept my eyes on her every movement!!!). Then she took bigger steps towards ahead as if she would never come back!!! Oh,yes!!! That head-return moment did mean "Are you sure I'm free??? Do you mean I can go for anywhere I want to???" 
Woo~~What a touching moment!!! I've heard a lot stories about turtles who can remember their raisers and come back some day after long time or distance apart. I believe she was thanking me and trying to remember me at that moment by saying "Thank you.I remember your kindness and I will be back some day"!!! Oh, You will not think I was imagining all this if you were there and witnessed all this!!! Love from animals are always so moving because they give it by their hearts completely!!! That's the purest love on earth that can hardly be found among "high-intellectual creatures"!!!


Oh,am I going too far from my pray for his health??? OK. I shall do it now:May God bless this little thing for a quick recovery and good health afterwards^^ Fingers crossed^^

What a picky mouth!!!(Oh,actually, Timon is the same!!!)I wrote God something for him just this time yesterday, and now, I'm writing Thankyou-note to God:Thank you very very very much!!! I'm kissing you^^ I'm so happy^^
