Little Box Turtles have to eat too


This little box turtle, along with another one, show up in our backyard every morning. They nudge over ND-Anna’s food bowl and chow down on the remaining cat food.

For anyone who doesn’t know who ND-Anna is, she is a little feral cat that appears at our screen door each morning and chats with Fred the Cat while waiting for me to give her cat food kibbles and a little can of cat food. After she eats what she wants, along come the two hungry box turtles for their breakfast.

Ours is a peaceful kingdom. Thank goodness there is peace somewhere.

Too bad you can't package peace and export it.

Sad that we can't even behave as well as turtles and kittys.

It is nice for ND-Anna to leave a bit for the turtles and nice of you to take care of the little lady. We should all take a lesson from you two.

That's great wildlife you have!

I'm looking forward to a letter from the turtle about hiding in his shell when things get tough!

Along with the new kitty we inherited 2 turtles, they are interesting to watch. The kiddos love em. I say set them free! But pappa bear says not yet, don't know what he is waiting for!
By the way my kitty hasn't had any trouble pooping! I didn't even have to rub it once, I did know that however.
Nature is so amazing to me

We don't have box turtles here, so I love seeing yours. They are the coolest little critters. Nice that ND-anna leaves a little kibble and food for them. If people shared the way these critters do, there's be peace in the world.

What a sweet story. Nice to know others have a soft spot for strays of all species, too.

I have dessert tortoises. I make them special food...cook it up and freeze it for them...it's a chore. But they are worth it.
