Box Turtles vs. Tomato
Video – When we started free ranging our critters, we knew they would raid the garden occasionally. With the acceptation of the four-legged critters, they are more than welcome to do so. After all, the ducks and chickens might take a bit of our produce now and then, but they more than make up for it in pest control. What we didn’t expect was that the different critters would conduct cross species raids.
That pile of red goop was a tomato. The critters chowing town on it are our two box turtles. The one on the left is female. The one on the right is male. Not to put human values on turtles, but they seem to be a permanent mating pair. So how did they get that tomato from the garden to the water? They didn’t. One of the ducks grabbed it off the vine and brought it to them.
