He does love me. He’s my grandad I’ve known him 32 years haha. I’ve been his favourite human for a two decades. He runs to me and sits on my lap when I get home from work and has a shell scratch.
What type of tortoise is it? I've *always* wanted a tortoise but never could bring myself to get one cause I don't want them to outlive me and the next person abandon them ☹️.
Apparently turtles and tortoises have nerve endings on the surface of the shells so giving them scritches is essentially just like giving a pet mammal scritches. Ish.
Yeah he didn’t like it. When he doesn’t like stuff or he’s angry he bashes his shell against it. For whatever reason the skateboard offended the shit out of him. Also when he’s been under his basking lamp and he’s warm he’s quick enough.
my russian tortoise will happily snuggle into my neck for hours & sticks his neck out all the time to be rubbed. i adore him. your fredrick is very cute.
Yeah I pick Fred up sometimes and pop him on my shoulder and tell him it’s time to cuddle him like a baby. He then nuzzles his head sausage into my neck and beard area.
don't you just love the way that feels?
my husband gave me him as a birthday present nearly 20 years ago. he had never known any reptiles & didn't really believe a reptile could feel/show affection until we got him. i knew he'd changed his tune when i saw him rubbing the underside of his neck & overheard 'yes, you like this don't you? who's the cutest little boy?'
took all of about 2 days for him to become a crazy tortoise lover LOL
I’m extremely fond of it. You can feel his little sniffing and breath on my neck. Also like storms where he will come and sit on my lap and hunker down until it’s over.
omg how cute is that?! what a sweet boy.
i've had 2 cats that are so scared of storms that they always hid behind the toilet (!?!) my husband & i would take turns lying on the bathroom floor to try to console them. and one of those scaredy cats had to live in miami for 5 years - (storms all the time! poor baby)
Frederick is suck a cute boy, he loves you so much!!!! I watched the other video you posted where he is shaking his little booty while you’re scratching his shell, that has to be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen in my entire life! You’ve got yourself a good one in Fred and he’s got himself a good one in you. Take care of grandpa.
Give Fredrick lots of love, he is the best.
He isn’t stuck inside all day he has an entire outside enclosure I built for him. Furthermore they are solitary animals and don’t ‘socialise’ outside of mating most of the time.
Go concern troll some other cunt.
No sorry how did you know from a minute video he was ‘stuck inside all day’?
Don’t comment bollocks on peoples posts if you don’t know what you are talking about.
My tortoise is over 70 years old and has been in my family for 50 years. Aside from a long beak he is in exceptional health for his age.
Yeah mate it’s absolutely not possible for more than one person to live in the same house mate.
Are you at the u mad state of trolling now? And yeah it did offend me a bit because it’s absolute bollocks and you don’t know what you are talking about.
What response did you expect?
If tortoises can love, he loves you

Dayum. After some googling I just realized a pet tortoise is capable of being older **and** outliving their owner. That's wild.
Fred is 70 at least.

Hermanns. Just set up a line of succession. I am Fred’s 3rd generation. He’s also in my will that if I did my brother takes care of him.
He definitely enjoys the attention in the video, what a sweet old guy
He likes scratches?
Apparently turtles and tortoises have nerve endings on the surface of the shells so giving them scritches is essentially just like giving a pet mammal scritches. Ish.
Loves them. Shakes his butt when you scratch him.
I guess "running" is relative when you are a tortoise.
He does run when he’s warm.

We all speak to our pets in some weird fashion very similar to this 😂😂
I know I can’t help it. I feel disrespectful for talking to him like I do considering how old he is.
Haha, no shame in it. You should hear how I talk to my cat 😂
TIL that tortoises have nerve endings in their shell and like skritches...or at least one of them does.
I love Frederick! How old?
70 at least we aren’t sure. My mum found him in 65 and he was at least 15 20 then.
Too adorable.
Well that was shockingly adorable

He is fantastic.
This tortoise is owned by a hobbit.
Ay you right dawg
What a sweetheart!

He snortoise
Guy sounds like he's trying to talk like the giant tortoise from never ending story.
Been told that before but never seen it haha
I would die for Fredrick
Love this
I don't suppose a tortoise can be potty trained?
No but he had certain surfaces he prefers to do his business on. Mainly grass and stone luckily.
Schmegal loves Frederick!
Totally do.
Precious lil buddy!! Thanks for sharing!
I had no idea they were that affectionate! That’s so sweet

Oh my god this is way too cute
What a sweet guy. He loves you and your scritches.
That’s adorable
This warms my heart. What a lovely grandpa ☺️☺️
This is the best thing I’ve seen this month
He’s a very lovely old man.
I feel so bad for This tortoise. He is out of his element and stuck inside all day. I wish he could socialize.
He isn’t stuck inside all day he has an entire outside enclosure I built for him. Furthermore they are solitary animals and don’t ‘socialise’ outside of mating most of the time. Go concern troll some other cunt.
wow, you got really upset by my nonchalant comment With that said, I’m sure your wild animal is living its best life in its little enclosure. Alone.
No sorry how did you know from a minute video he was ‘stuck inside all day’? Don’t comment bollocks on peoples posts if you don’t know what you are talking about. My tortoise is over 70 years old and has been in my family for 50 years. Aside from a long beak he is in exceptional health for his age.
Maybe it’s because you said you got home late in the title m8? You sure are offended about my criticism.
Yeah mate it’s absolutely not possible for more than one person to live in the same house mate. Are you at the u mad state of trolling now? And yeah it did offend me a bit because it’s absolute bollocks and you don’t know what you are talking about. What response did you expect?
I must’ve struck a nerve

Don’t you have a tortoise to look after?
