Marvellous, well done Freddie - shame your fun was thwarted.

Wonder what he got up to last time he went walkabout, was missing a year?

My Grandchildren got a Tortoise last week, I'll warn them to keep a close eye on it.

couldn't they have given freddie a few minutes with astrid after that monumental effort?

How did he know that Astrid was around? I can't see that could sense her womanly aroma from 6 miles away.

Freddie should now be called Romeo.

update ... jersey zoo is now surrounded by frustrated male tortoises

[Mamyalynne]

They'll have to pay their admission fee like everyone else.

Wolfie - they both swiped right, using a special app - Tortoise In Neighbourhood, Dateable, Eager & Ready ;-)

[aelmpvw]

they're probably not prepared to shell out

Nice one Maj , I was wondering if he'd been searching Zoopla for a new billet but you outquipped me there.

Aww bless him and I agree with ael at 12:9.

[Tilly2]

Aww! Bless him. They could have let them meet. Poor lad.

[Mamyalynne]

I agree from the romantic point of view but they may worry about cross infection, great story though.
