Turtle without leg

Mr Sinclair-Jones designed the front wheels and used resin to attach them to the front of her shell. <br />His mother said: 'She took to them straight away but she has had to learn how to turn and stop. <br />'She can get a good speed up, much faster than before. <br />'Mrs T is still quite young for a tortoise she could go on for another 50 years - all she needs is a new set of tyres every now and again.' <br />Mrs T was in her sixties when she was bought as a pet for Mr Sinclair-Jones when he was eight. <br />The much-loved pet has the run of Ms Ryder's garden in Pembroke, west Wales, in the spring and summer before being tucked away in in the garden shed to hibernate. <br />But a rat got in last month and chewed off both her front legs to the elbow joint. <br />Ms Ryder said: 'We were afraid she may have to be put down but her new set of wheels have saved her life. <br />'She has the run of the garden again and we can always find her because she leaves very strange tracks behind wherever she goes.' <br />Rats attacking tortoises is not uncommon - in 2013 Britain's oldest tortoise died after a rat attack. <br />Thomas the Tortoise was 130 when he was bitten at his home in Guernsey. <br />He spent five-days on strong antibiotics but the wound became so infected his owner had no choice but to have him put to sleep.
