Ferb finishes nine-week frolic in the field
Ferb the tortoise had been missing from its Piedmont home for nine weeks. Then amazingly, last week, Ed Zaidi saw something in the field behind his home near Piedmont High School that looked like a clump of dirt. Turns out, it was Ferb. Finally.
Ferb is owned by Ed’s wife, Cherrie Zaidi.
“I was at work when my husband called and said, ‘Guess who just came home?’
“He saw Ferb in the field west of Windmill Park,” Cherrie said.
Ferb, an African tortoise, would not have been able to survive temperatures under 40 degrees.
