I fed this female box tortoise some raspberries at the beginning of the summer. Now, she follows me all over the garden, and visits me almost daily looking for handouts.

Her favorite foods are blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and the occasional earthworm (when I can find one).

I used to feed them to our monitor lizards. I haven’t seen a June bug in like 15 years or more.
