Wholesome Tweets Of Pet Tortoises Hibernating In Different Places: Twitter Thread

Here, at ICanHas, every pet gets love. No matter how common or how rare, how big or small, or old or young, we love all pets. And it seems to us that of of the pets that does not get nearly enough love is the tortoise (and turtle). And you know what, we have an issue with that. Because there is so, so much love and appreciate when it comes to them. Tortoises and turtles are absolutely adorable.

Baby snapping turtles look like tiny dinosaurs in disguise. There's a kind of little-knows tortoise that is called the white leopard tortoise that is so beautiful, you won't even believe it. And, not only are they awesome, they can also be super affectionate, like Tiptoe - the 175 pound tortoise who absolutely loves his humans. Turtles are awesome. Tortoises are awesome. And, honestly, we think that more of them could use some loving homes.

We can imagine how stressful this must be - even when you know that it's natural and part of their lives, part of the process of having them. Our cat disappearing for one day had us losing our minds was torturous. We can only imagine what it would be like to have that happen for four months every year.

And seeing him come back… the relief. He's adorable, by the way, and we're actually so happy to see him get viral and bring some shine to his species. We wish you had shared more photos of this lovely guy in the thread, but regardless, we wish this man the bestest year ever now that he'e back.
