This is our most recent addition to the family. His name is Ivan, and he's (or she's, we have not way of knowing at the moment) a desert tortoise. He was originally found on the playground at school as a new hatchling. After spending three years on a friend's balcony it was decided that he is now big enough that he needs a bigger area, which is where we came into the picture. Right now he is less than 5 inches long, only eats dandelions, and likes to have his head rubbed. The cats have kept a close eye on Ivan's movements about the yard and have determined that he is okay.
