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.

I always wondered if he could smell them or if he'd check in at night. He would always be there when the strawberry patch was at its peak, didn't matter if it was May or July.

Great method tbh, what if he started showing up earlier and earlier though?
