Terra and Pin

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 28 October 2009 in Animal & Insect.

We bought a pair of terrapins and the boys have been most fascinated with them. The one on top is a female, which we called Terra and the bottom one a smaller male which we called Pin. Terra eats all the food and forces Pin out of his hiding place under the bridge every night when they sleep. So i put in a lego bridge so they dont have to fight. But Terra still finds a way to bully Pin. What to do, this is a big bad world.

I love this story and image. I have a male and female tortoise. They are at it all the time unless I keep the separated. I like the use of Legos.
