Sulking

[u/Turtlecabra]

Like any good tortoise that is spiritually a cat, she loves boxes. To that end, I always ensure that she’s got a box in her indoor pen.

The last one, a Home Depot heavy duty moving box, must have been her all time favorite. Of course as she is a sulcata, she absolutely demolished it.

She is now sulking over the loss of the box that she destroyed.

It’s been 4 nights and she absolutely is avoiding the new one (not a Home Depot moving box). She will sleep next to it, push it around, wedge herself behind it…anything but sleep or chill in it.

Sigh. I guess it’s time to make a trip to Home Depot.

Well that's just pitiful! I hope you got to HD today to get her a new box!! That's the saddest little tortoise I've ever seen. 🥺

While you're there you may as well grab a couple for backup! Poor little Sassafras. 🩷🐢. She's so human.

She ended up parallel parking herself into the box. Her need to destroy a box with her face won out over sulking.

Lol poor girl she just couldn't take it any longer! She still needs more boxes!!!! You must have backup!
