Does Karl graze enough to keep the grass down in his yard/enclosure? Or does he only eat the "tasty" parts and leave some stuff completely alone? I've found that Nigel doesn't eat nearly as much as I thought he would. It's hard to tell that there's even been a grazing tort in the pen.... He keeps grazing on the new growth of his favorite plants and leaves the rest alone.

: Nope, it's buried down about a foot. He has ripped through it before. Generally the gate (which you can't see in the photo, because it's behind me) is closed and my 2 leopard tortoises live in that area. I have black plastic stapled up so he can't see through it.

: > So do you fill the holes up each year?

: I fill them up right afterwards. If you notice that pile of dirt is almost as high as him.

: Well Georgia, it's that lovely paradise of dandelion, clover, St. Augustine and weeds just on the other side:).
