    Amanda @Pandamoanimum ... I often see a woman in the park picking dandelions. I found out today she picks them for her 32 yo tortoise, Stanley, that her late husband bought her as a 17th wedding anniversary gift (the traditional gift for 17 yrs is shells) as she'd wanted a tortoise since she was a child. 9:19 PM Jun 20, 2024 2.2M Views 281 15.7K 116K 3.5K

    Amanda @Pandamoanimum Absolutely. I was always curious as to what she was doing it for but didn't expect to feel punched in the heart when I found out. • 9:23 PM ⚫ Jun 20, 2024 · 103.3K Views

    not so ginger Elanor @GingerElanor I had a tortoise (Torty) back in the 80s and he LOVED - and I mean ... LOVED - dandelions. Ate them, dribbled and drooled, danced and got all excited and sometimes rolled in them. 10:39 PM Jun 20, 2024 · 9,527 Views

    Slimey frog face @FrogSlimey My sis adopted a male tortoise when it's owner of 50+ years died. It had to be hand fed and surprised us all by laying an egg!! Went from Toby to Tobi. Still going strong 15 years later and feeds itself! Loves dandelions! 12:34 AM ⚫ Jun 21, 2024 4,238 Views

    Annalieze @Annaliez My mother in law - mother of an only son - loves tortoises. She has 17, some 20years old others 5 & 2 years old. They have a life expectancy of 60-80 years. I guess at least I know my fate. 11:58 PM ⚫ Jun 20, 2024 · 3,992 Views ...

    Dóc @DOCasBAC Oooh. We had a tortoise at home from 1969 called Apollo because of the moon landings. He adored dandelions and would come running for tomatoes too. He loved having his chin scratched. Sadly he died of old age in 2015. Great memories. All animals should be treasured. 11:16 PM ⚫ Jun 20, 2024 2,364 Views

    Juniper Pearl @Coxy_Girl_ I also met a lady walking around the park on my road, and picking from random parts. I stopped and asked her what she was picking and she said dandelions from her tortoise. 10:55 PM ⚫ Jun 20, 2024 870 Views

    Rev Darren Jalland @OldmacharRev Wow, that's more emotional than expected. I do the same. Our tortoise loves dandelions, and I know anyone seeing me pick them thinks it's a bit odd. 1:35 AM · Jun 21, 2024 1,293 Views
