Now here is one you wont see everyday !! Frank the Tank!!! A giant African Sulcata , or spur thighed tortoise!! We rescued Frank in October 2022 and he is by far the most fascinating pet we have ever had!! He literally stops people in their tracks as they watch this giant prehistoric beast plod on by!! Frank is mischievous and often tries to “sneak” into the house despite his large warm outdoor dwelling, he prefers the company of others and will often come “running” up when we r out in the garden, sunbathe next to a dog or four and then goes about his business of cutting and eating the grass 🤣🤣 Frank is around 8 years old and already weights around 35kg!! His species can live up to 150 years old and can weigh around 68kg as a fully grown male !!! So ….please no more trying to get in the house Frank!!! As much as I could do with the work out……!!! I wonder if i will ever be asked to do a pet service for one of these magnificent creatures ??!?!?
