:I broke the cardinal rule by housing different animals together--here they are.
Skippy- russian tortoise about 7" long and overweight.
Dexter- a yearling sulcata tortoise about 1/2 the size of Skippy, he kinda acts like Skippy's side-kick.
2 button quail- Buttons, a white quail, and Beau a pretty speckled quail. Both are female (we think) someone laid eggs once...? they run around like children with a sugar rush. And they seem to think that Dexter and Skippy are quails also If they are not following the tortoises around they are trying to cuddle next to them. You should see the mad rush to the food dish-- the quail get there first followed by Skippy. Skippy tries to guard the food and the Quail only want what Skippy has. And then there is Dexter looking slightly dazed and confused trying to figure out if he want to eat the food or try to eat the food-dish again. Its better than T.V.
