The Tortoise Table

Oh your a star too and I must say Theresa is adorable. Just a thought though, what are you going to call her if she is a he - lol. I will say at three though s/he is to young to say for sure what the sex is. It matters not though - lol. Lin BungalowBel wrote: > You get a picture of me too :) But The...

I'm not laughing either

We will patiently await to see this Theresa and if she comes up to the desired expectations of other Theresas that we may know. Poor thing.

Hiya and a warm welcome from me and the team. We would love to see a photo of 'Theresa (I'm not saying anything about her name - lol) if you can. We do have a 'how to' on the uploading of photos here for you to follow -- https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/siteassets/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3 but ...

Our own instinct will kick in and let us know what to do and I feel thats exactly what yours has done.
Well done and we would love to see a photo of Jack when you get some time.

Here's the link to the FB post for you to keep an eye on.

I will add this to the FB page where you will get a much wider audience. Hope thats ok and I will give you the link so that you can keep tabs on those that are interested, ask any questions you need, ask for photos of enclosures etc. and choose who you feel will offer the best home for Betsy. Such a...

You should know that IF there is an abundence of 'free' tortoise food it will NOT be edible - lol. Thats the law of averages. :lol: A photo would be great but if you have seen and remember the flower and are happy with the ID then no worries. Keep looking and you will, one day, find the pot of gold ...

Hi David? I would say this is one of the Poppys and although we do have poppy on the database it seems the photos are not there. I will get the ball rolling to try and sort it out but either way it is one of the papaver species and it is not edible. I would also like it if you would send in a photo ...

Hi Bex. Nice to hear from you after such a long time and glad to know Speedy is good and good luck with the move. Now, regarding the setups for sulcatas. Nina is right and the caresheet she sent is a good, accurate one, I know that because I wrote it :lol: along with a friend who also keeps sulcata ...

I agree with Nina's id's Beckibee.

Hi Gemma, and a warm welcome to you and Chaz. The way re usually weigh out if the tortoise is growing at a nice slow even rate is to weigh on a regular basis and providing the tortoise is gaining about 3gm a month then he should be fine. If he keeps that up you can give a teeny bit less and see how ...

Maybe Keith would like to see our entry for this beautiful plant. Calibrachoa -- https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/pla ... nt=819&c=5

I would imagine they will all be fine. There is one Sedum you should watch out for and that is the Sedum Acre. It has very teeny triangular leaves and the only other way I can say to check is with our photos as there is a good example there of the leaf size and structure. Heres the link - https://ww...

Hiya. His hunger could be a case of him having worms or it could be that he isnt having enough feed but most animals (tortoises included) will eat for England and because we are humans we will give them more. That is not always in their best interest but if he is weighed today and then at the same t...

Hi SilverWings, a very warm welcome and thanks for being such a hero. What a lucky little tortoise to have landed in your hands. To handle the weight loss and gain the only way to do it is to weigh and measure her once a week initially and then maybe fortnightly later down the line. By doing this an...

Hi Laurat. Our usual way is to put it on FB as a rehoming and have it on here as well and then in a few days time we would forward you (or you can keep an eye open yourself) all the potential applicants and you do the sifting out and choose who you think is perfect to take on Vera. Its so sad when w...

Hiya.
If I were to be honest its not something I would use especilly if I cannot read the ingredients list. Would you be able to send us in a photo of the ingredients so we can research what is in them before offering advise ?

Lin

I am sorry Renee, we only rehome the tortoises that come into us and their owner has asked us to advertise it for them.

Lin

Hi Heather. I have just had a look for some suggestions and copied these what might help -- Install aeration pumps or a water feature such as a fountain in your pond. ... Run the water feature or the pump for a few hours each day. ... Stock ornamental ponds with native fish or minnows or with anothe...

Aww, Steph. What nice words from you, thank you so much.

I knew Nina would sort you out on that one, hope he sleeps well in his 2nd try - lol

Lin

Hi Steph.
If I were to be honest I would get him up and overwinter him.
I know Nina has done hers different and they have been fine and hopefully she will be on in a mo to let you know her thoughts.

Lin

Hi Teddy. Your first photo with the frilly leaves looks like its Hemlock and a big no feed. Here is our entry for you to read the tips section and compare the photos. https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plant-database/viewplants/?plant=152&c=6 The other one, I assume both are the same plant, look li...

Hiya.
Both are ok. the top pic is Bittercress is a moderate feed -- https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/pla ... ant=48&c=6
The prickly one is Sow Thistle and a favorite -- https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/pla ... nt=209&c=6

Lin

Yep, and right back to you too.
