Two Tortoises

Dear Uncle Bob,

For Christmas we bought Anna a Russian tortoise. She named her Skipper. A few days later, Sam got a tortoise for his birthday. He named her Muta. These little girls will grow no longer than 8 inches. Skipper and Muta eat leafy greens and carrots primarily. Here they are trying squash. Their favorite treat so far seems to be strawberries. They are in the living room now, cozy in this large habitat of a huge plastic container filled with straw. When the weather gets warmer we’d like to construct some sort of outdoor play area for them, safely gated from our dog Michi.

Love,
Steve, Mina, Anna and Sam
