The great folks from Integrated Motion Technology Pte Ltd (IMT) kindly donated the Aerobin to ACRES. At the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre, we feed a lot of vegetables to the animals in our care. The tortoises don’t really eat the stems, so we usually discard them or scatter them around roots of plants to act as fertiliser. We’ve been told that a...
