The Tortoise and the Hare

One of Aesop's fables, Tortoise and the Hare, is alive and well at our house!
Lila has a hutch and a run outside in the backyard. One day, when we went out to feed her, we discovered a turtle sitting in the small space in between her run and the fence. Tim was SO excited! (he has always wanted a turtle) We couldn't reach it because of the way Lila's run was built, but we were able to drop a few of Lila's spinach leaves back there. We have since discovered that it likes the spinach and cilantro!
Anyway, today Mr. Turtle figured out how to get inside the bunny run and how to climb up her ramp into her hutch!
He has been living at our house for a couple of weeks now - Tim is crossing his fingers that he stays! Lila didn't seem to mind him, so maybe Tim will get his wish and they will live happily ever after!



Look closely - he has climbed her ramp and is entering her hutch!

new friends!
