Have no idea where she came from, she has spurs on her back legs, but she belonged to her previous owners parents so she was just a tortoise to them x

That's good to know, I haven't ever seen any quite like her, so is she's pretty unique too?

If it was me I wouldn't change a thing - she has obviously thrived well enough over the years.

I think I may change my diet to weeds and strawberries !!!!!!
