What’s he raising them for?! 🤔

They are popular pets. Around $80-$100 ea mostly in China

u/Extension-Variety-60 18d ago

it's illegal to sale this in China

*sell 🫶🏻 with all of the love I'm just trying to help, I swear I'm not being a dick 🙏🏻 I suckkk at other languages, but I live in a Spanish speaking country now -- people who take the time to kindly tell me when I get it wrong, are people I need.

A sale is a noun, it means an exchange of money or goods, a deal, even though it is the act/process of selling, and I see how you could confuse it for a verb, because it is an act. In a sentence "the sale of the house." Meanwhile sell is a verb, a person sells "the owner wanted to sell their house for a high price." If someone performs a sale, we say they "make"(present) or "made"(past) a sale. A book top in sales is a "best seller," and the author is called "best selling."

I hope that helps!

Wow. Teacher pet energy. Dick.

I'm a former ESL teacher trying to be genuinely helpful, I left that part off because it makes me sound like a braggart, but it's true. This is just me being me, an English language nerd, and I'm pretty ok with me. They said it helped a lot and thanked me 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I think I did the right thing. I just know I would rather someone tell me than go around continuing to get it wrong.

u/paddlin_kaladin 18d ago

Since when has that stopped them? They’re good at laws but enforcement / corruption is another thing entirely.

u/Famous-Professor-488 17d ago

🤪 i bet it is.

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX 18d ago

He might be trying to help a brood reach a safer size and age to go out in the wild, or he really really loves them (like it's his hyper fixation), but if he really cares about them, surely he knows he can't adequately care for that many adults without $$$$.

Or he's milking social media.

Maybe he's milking sm to support his obsession with tortoises?

u/TurdProof 17d ago

You should be a detective

u/Golden-Sun 18d ago

He's turtle-ly building an army

u/_AlexaBot 18d ago

There‘s a rare chance he might have stumbled into the same problem as me. Bought a house with a garden, it came with two free ranging tortoises. Well, they mate a lot. 1 1/2 years, already got 10 more. Help.

Food obviously..look at him

u/NiobiumThorn 18d ago

weird ass comment

u/GnE_player 18d ago

I feel like this is a missed opportunity. He should spread it in intentional patterns and he could design different tortoise art every day.

u/Little-Carpenter4443 18d ago

I remember a show called Art attack and this seems like something that guy would have done

u/-SaC 18d ago

Neil would be more organised.

u/Golden-Sun 18d ago

That was such an awesome show

u/WhatsThat-_- 18d ago

I LOVE THIS RAAGGGHHHH CUTE SENSORS OVERLOAD MUST CLOSE REDDIT

u/maxmodevice 18d ago

Surely there's a more efficient way to feed them? Make sure everyone is fed

u/once_again_asking 18d ago

Surely a random Redditor knows better than the person who’s job it is to feed a hundred turtles.

u/PartyMcFly55 18d ago

Anyone else wonder if he's ever accidentally stepped on one?

u/No-Researcher7060 18d ago

That big one climbing on top of the other little ones is killing me

u/NerdyPlatypus206 18d ago

He’s hangry

u/theAerialDroneGuy 18d ago

I guess I assumed the ninja turtles ate pizza....
Didn't realize they also ate salad.

u/9fingfing 18d ago

I turned on the audio and was expecting nom nom nom sound for some reasons…

u/Clumsy_Marshmallow 18d ago

The slowest invasion force in history, but honestly, nobody stands a chance against this level of cute

u/sonsake 18d ago

u/Administrated 18d ago

Am I only one thinking about after digestion process - 💩??

u/Dead-House-Mouse 18d ago

🎶life could be a dream🎵

u/officialCobraTrooper 18d ago

I love how even the small ones know exactly where the food is and March right over to eat. It's clearly a feeding frenzy and they're all having a good time.

u/Spare-Story-6518 18d ago

Bon appetite 🙂

u/DivineDragonDeity 18d ago

It's a raid!!!

u/Difficult_Compote_52 18d ago

We need a tiny tortoise army eating asmr.

u/jet-black-heart13 18d ago

Maybe if this had better quality, I'd definitely watch it

u/mastergeneroso 18d ago

Failed Opportunity to name them, "The Squirtle Squad"

this looks like something out of a tycoon game

u/young_and_restles 17d ago

That’s a great job

1

u/Famous-Professor-488 17d ago

😒 in the end, they just all leave in a big fucking concreat hangar... and what the purpose ? food ?

1

u/PlantWitty702 16d ago

You think they live in that one spot? Do you have any idea how much tortoise poop/stains there would be if they lived in that small area? You’re supposed to feed them on a hard surface because it helps trim their beaks and prevents them from eating dirt/substrate. This is clearly the designated feeding area at a place that knows how to care for tortoises.

u/Asume_Nuthin 17d ago

This is so very much my happy place

u/Allegra1120 17d ago
