We took this video one year on my birthday in July, and Westy was very patient letting us film him eating. Here Westy prefers to devour a fresh mushroom, even though we offered him some fresh peach slices. It took him 10 deliberate minutes to eat the mushroom, but we sped up the video 4 times faster so you can watch him eat it in 2 minutes! Debbie is very kind to offer us mushrooms from her yard for our Big Black Bart, who loves to devour them, too! Debbie is also very kind to give us wild trumpet flowers, which Bart eats with equal abandon. We thank Debbie for all her kindnesses to our Turtlesinger turtles as well as to her wild herd of box turtles.
Unlike Westy the eastern box turtle, our 3-toed box turtle Rocky seems to like mushrooms not at all! This is like Turtletoter Charlie, who loves mushrooms, and I, The Turtlesinger: like them not at all.
Thanks as always for reading!
