Richard Austin’s Animal Magic
THREE wheels on his wagon and he is still rolling along. This unfortunate tortoise had to have his leg amputated because of a gangrenous infection. It saved his life and he is able to trundle along with a toy skateboard glued to his shell.
It was the vet’s idea, the tortoise found it easier going forwards and it stopped him moving around in circles.
The vet didn’t mention who kept him still whilst the glue dried.
