Tortoises

From what I understand, our landlords own about six acres and they built four houses on the land. One of the houses is ours, one is theirs, and we have friends that live in the other two. There is quite a bit of land between each house. Just on the north side of the fence in our backyard is where these guys live.

There six tortoises that are enclosed by a big circle of pool fencing. They have quite a bit of room in there and have burrowed a hole that's about 3-4 feet deep into the ground. The landlords own them and their kids feed them and they mentioned that we can if we want to as well. We can give them lettuce or really finely shaved carrots. (I haven't read up on tortoises yet to find out what else is safe to give them.)

The dogs haven't discovered them yet, I'm anxious to see how they'll react.
