This is not going well at all!

Axle can get out of the darn Blue Box!!!!

I moved my computer outside my room, so I could drain the pond & clean it. I put Axle in the blue Box & left it beside my bed. I heard a THUD & he was no wheres to be seen. I looked behind my bed & there he was laying there. I tried to pull him out but he sank those 1 inch claws into the carpet. I a just left him there. I put up boxes near the fish filters so he wouldn't knock those over & made a huge baracade in the basement.

So Axle was free after 5 mins of being in the box & has been roaming about for 30 mins.

Once the pond has been drained, I'm gonna baracade in the door so hes trapped in my room, so I can get back to packing.


I just cannot win

Silly Axle, don't make things too hard for mom, okay? :)

I took him outside to burn more energy, which he did. He's now trapped in the box with junk piled ontop to keep it dark & to add weight to disscourage him from trying to get out.. he has to live in there for a week. So I plan to make my room turtle friendly, so when I'm out he is free to stretch his legs.

Poor Axle - moving time is so hard, even when it is temporary! :)

Be a good boy, okay?

U tell him Karen. & try telling him to stop being to snappy. Hes not being agressive, hes just annoyed with me & is opening his mouth, hissing & closing it. But I still don't approve of that.

So far hes been quiet
