New Round Of Turtle Activities

My two not-little-any-more turtles, Timon amd Pumbaa, are greeting the April spring!!!

To my surprise, I find they migt even grow in size during hibernation period when I am watching them taking little bites of shrimps today!!!

It's obvious that they have yet to recover their appetite after several months slumber!!!

As the habitual thing, Timon is still fond of my handfeeding!!!

Energy Charging Under The Sun

Such a long time period between the last post on my two lovely turtles, Timor and Pumbaa!!!

With the purpose of egg-laying from Timon, I decided to let them be in the environment easy access to some natural green and flowers and the sunlight, which, I think, is good for Timon, especially, to lay some eggs!!! 

They are so big now. And Timon is at the right size(almost 20cm+ in diametre) and age to lay/produce eggs!!!

BUT!!! The disappointed me again!!! 

Still no egg this year!!!

Well, as it has been turning into autumn season, the gradually chilling weather shut down their appetite. 

See, thay are soaking in warm sunlight charging the energy bar full and getting prepared for the coming winter slumber!!!

A Little Escape

Timon's Little Escape

This morning, as my regular routine to check Timon and Pumbaa, I found, in the bathtub, there is one missing turtle!!! It's the wicked Timon!!! She got the prison-break which, I'm not sure, was whether the result of totally work on her own or by the assistant of her male partner!!!

Searching around, it's not difficult to speculate she was hiding behind the cushion at the corner!!! It seems Timon want somewhere cool.(The weather is unduly hot these days!!!)

See, with the mood of hid-and-seek, she was tilting her head out to check whether I found her or not!!! 

And soon after the got-you moment, Timon came out!!!

Well, though Pumbaa is out of the picture in this post, he, and Timon, enjoyed a feast of shrimp this morning!!!

New Biting Season

New Season Biting

After having been lingering in their dreams for almost half a year, Timor and Pumbaa finally step out of their den (actually an abandoned cushion) and take their first sip of water and start to bite their favourite staple--shrimps!!! 

This is the Timon. She still favour handfeeding!!!

This is Pumbaa. He takes in more than his female partner does today!!!

As their size is no longer tiny which can be described as cutie, they have to get in the bathtub and have meals one by one!!!

The same wish as I made last year: May my Timon lay some eggs this year!!! Fingers crossed!!!

New Round Of Hibernation

New Round Of Hibernation

Such a long interval between my last blog on my two super cute turtles!!!

My Timon and Pumbaa went through a extremely hot summer, again!!! The steaming weather seemed have a negative impact on their appetite!!! They are a little bit less during those smoking hot days!!!

A little disappointment to me this year is that Timon who is within the age range of egglaying didn't lay any!!!

Anyway, they are still healthy!!!

And, now, they are entering into their new round of hibernation period!!!

See, the naughty Timon sitting on the back of Pumbaa enjoying the warm sunshine!!! 

Here is the the Timon with her chubby front limbs!!!

Here is the Pumbaa sunbathing!!! He is shedding as you can see, which means he is growing in size!!!
