We are pleased to congratulate the winner of our contest to design the next Tortoise Group T Shirt. Tino is a student at Eva Wolfe Elementary. He created design #8, which won the popular election in our online voting. We look forward to offering the new T Shirt for sale soon with Tino's design. Additionally, we would like to thank everyone who submitted such fun and fabulous art for the contest. We were thrilled with the enthusiasm and participation, both with the artwork and the voting.

Tortoise Tip:

Apr 2013

Tortoises Are Emerging

Some Tortoises Are Late Risers

It's only early April and many tortoises are still snoozing, waiting for just the right time to emerge. That magic day will be about the same time as last year, so take note of the date. Maybe your tortoise poked its nose out a few weeks ago and hasn't been seen since. That's okay. It's not time to worry. Try reflecting sunlight into the burrow to see if anything has changed or collapsed, or if there's a big pile of dirt in the way. If not, just keep watching.
