Kitty & Turtle-sitting Journal

Kitty & turtle-sitting journal: Turtle wars! I gave the big fellah a broccoli stalk after his avocado bit, as the little one is not culinarily adventurous and won't come out of his pond. Rattle and commotion—two turtles banging against the glass fighting over a broccoli stalk. Shredded broccoli florets all over the tank. They fought like two dogs over a large bone. Hysterical. It was all about the bright green stalk. Forget the good bits. Never seen turtles that active. They also like bananas. Apparently broccoli is the new banana. They're red-eared sliders. Serious personalities on those two. Who knew? They're jealous, greedy, ambitious, attention-hungry, and curious. I gave them a 2nd stalk of broccoli—they're so over it. Turned their noses up at it. They did. It was about the turf. Surf & turf wars?
