My turtle is a wimp

[Prof Beard]

I'm mortified to find that my chinese soft-shelled turtle - described in the the literature as a voracious and aggressive carnivore - whose relatives are happily munching their way through the river fauna of the north-western US states as an invasive species - is frightened of APPLES.

I read on the turtle forum (how sad is that ) that he would enjoy punching a floating apples around his tank and it would give his jaws good exercise - so I put one in - result - he hid from it...

My rabbit is scared of penguins.

How did you find out??

The rabbit forum probably said they would make good playmates...

(Just goes to show - you can't believe everything people tell you on forums)

Was it a pink lady? Maybe he's gay

Or homophobic? Actually, the Apple was a Gala...

Homophobic, where did that come from. Its perfectly fine to be gay you know. He's well within his rights

Indeed, but as he is on his own in tank, his sexuality (regardless of choice) must go unfulfilled.

I was curious as to what a Chinese soft-shelled turtle looked like.

WTF, man?

Is that not the carcass of a turkey, with some sort of head grafted on?


Sicko's!

Oh my God!!!! That's a COOKED one! Live ones are GREEN

What an odd creature. Why is there a vibrator in his tank?

the tears are starting to roll

Sadly, it's just an aquarium heater
