You go, little Blade! Just perfectly incredible! Blade is a tiny tortoise with a big problem: a metabolic bone disease resulted in the little guy being too weak to bear the weight of his own shell. His owner, Iris Pleste, noticed that the 127g Greek tortoise wasnt as active and healthy as her other pets -- so she took him to her local veterinarian, Bielefeld, Germany-based Dr Carsten. Inspired by his sons Lego toys, Dr Plischke hit upon a novel idea: building a custom Lego skate for Blade so that he could use his legs for direction and momentum, while the Lego held his shell off the ground.
