Re: Growing Like a Weed
Tonight was a food day for Tank. He enjoyed shrimp and steak. Before I left I noticed a small piece of shrimp leftover. You know, that one that doesn't come out when you're peeling them. To make matters worse I only removed half of it when I tried. I was about to toss this small piece into Tank but then decided to trust him.
I then held the piece under the water pinched between my thumb and index finger. Tank was still in an active food mode and hurried to my hand. For a brief moment I thought I must be crazy to try and feed him this by hand. As Tank moved in for the strike I saw him concentrating on my index finger and I became worried. As he took this tiny piece out of my fingers I realize he was watching my finger so as not to bite it.
He's a smart, good turtle and I love him.
