Blade was a small tortoise like any other. Until a bone disease made it impossible for him to support the weight of his shell.
Fortunately, an ingenious vet came up with a great idea to save Blade while he was playing with LEGO bricks with his son. He could build him a LEGO wheelchair!
The vet glued two LEGO brick plates to the bottom of his shell. To the bricks, Blade’s owner can attach various configurations of wheels.
Now, Blade is more mobile than ever. He can zip around in his wheelchair, chasing down leaves to his heart’s content.
Check out the video below to see Blade in action. It is in German — but at 1:58 you can still see him zooming around like it ain’t no thang.
