Tortoise Gets Wheelchair Made From LEGO Bricks, Skates Around Like A Pro

“LEGO bricks are making life a lot easier for this critter.

Last year, Iris Peste of Germany began noticing something peculiar about her tortoise, Blade, Ruptly TV reported.

“I noted for the first time that Blade wasn’t so active and fit as the other two turtles [I own],” Peste said, according to the video’s description.

When she brought Blade to veterinarian Dr. Carsten Plischke, it was discovered that he had a metabolic bone disease and couldn’t support the weight of his shell. That’s when Plischke had an idea.”
