Little Tortoise Tries to Eat A Cherry Tomato

By Jill Harness in Animals & Pets, Food & Drink, Video Clips on Feb 1, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Sometimes a little critter just can’t catch a break. This poor little man keeps trying to eat a cherry tomato, which keeps sliding just out of reach. Thank goodness for the kind Samaritan that finally holds the food in place for him.

    they aren’t extinct because polished wood floors are not their natural habitat. :P

    Young Russian Tortoise on a smooth surface, trying to eat a food that it would not find in nature- cute, but not really a window into how it normally eats. It is sort of like watching people deal with greased watermelons.

    While tortoises are not a real ‘social pet’, like a dog, it is nice to see that its owner enjoys it.

    SO cute!!! It certainly enjoyed it’s cherry tomato meal once it could actually bite in to it.

    I’m not sure I would have volunteered my fingers to be that close to it’s jaws (they are pretty tiny though). Another minute or two and it probably could have pinned the tomato in a corner.
