The Tortoise Table

Thanks guys, she's been out all morning walking around and only just found a shady bit (1pm) :) ...yep already dreading winter!! Keep telling myself it'll be fine lol...just ordered a plastic reinforced greenhouse to grow grass all year round! Warning to anyone reading... If getting a sulcata... RES...

Lesson learnt... Do I need to worry about her lack of liking the sun?

I promise I won't do it again...unfortunately she is very fussy with eating, takes me weeks to get her to try something new! Also she won't stay out in the sun for long, keep finding her in the coldest part of garden asleep or fussing at door to come in, then she just goes under living room table! I...

Couldn't resist trying Speedy with some of my Nan's home grown strawberries.... I think they were a hit!!

Thank you Lin, I have emailed bigger pics of the 1st weed to you, are they better? Also Just one more

1st dandelions from seed but not sure what the broadleaf weed is to the left?

Found this near lawn....

Hi, I have let these grow and wud like to know if there food/safe to keep plz....

Seriously amazing...thank you for showing us, can't believe my 2 started like that!!

Thanks Nina, I do worry bout Tiny eating too much, she always seems to be looking for food! Speedy isn't as bothered...chalk & cheese the pair of them lol. Some of the mallow, dandelion, pansy and shepherds purse seeds I got have finally started to sprout so it will be interesting to see them gr...

Hi guys, sorry haven't been on for a while but life takes over!! Had builders in for a few weeks and it has been chaos trying to do everyday things, let alone sorting the animals and reptiles :( Speedy's worm count came back fine but Tiny's didn't so she's had a 2nd round of treatment bless her! Als...

Just got back from 2nd round of treatment, it went a lot smoother today, both torts were more allowing this time! Will send off for testing again in 2 weeks to make sure all clear. Vet said unless there's any problems she'll see them again in a year, and said worming once a year was enough, but I I ...

Oh my....they seem to get bigger in every photo!!

It's wonderful seeing them Lin, Ty

1st full day in the sun...

1st full day out in the sun....

She doesn't seem impressed.....

I emailed the vet, she said as it such a large area to keep clean it would be best to lay newspaper til a week after 2nd treatment, just cleaned it all out and found old poo amongst the dirt in the sleeping area so glad I did! Will def check that area a lot more once substrate back in! Wonder what s...

I did ask if I could buy it and put it on their food but she said it's best directed straight into the throat as deep as possible to get into the gut, she had a long plastic pipe on the end of a syringe for Speedy. She did say cleanliness is very important etc but didn't say about newspaper, should ...

What a morning! Vet appt 10.15, we went in on time and came out at 11.35 lol... Speedy & Tiny both successfully wormed without sedation, but not sure if it would of been easier to sedate Speedy, my god she is strong!! Also think Tiny is female too :) Poor vet had very sore fingers bless her and ...

We are booked in for a health check and worming 2moro morning... Will let you know how we get on

Got Speedy's worm count back, he's got a high reading of pinworm Can I treat him with a shop brought product or have I got to go to a vets?

Oops forgot bout the law! Most of mine came from an elderly neighbours garden, I offered to 'weed' her front garden to help her cos I'm lovely!

Hi Andrew, I have tried this winter to grow weed seeds indoors but haven't been very successful. I've found if you find a young weed and dig it up with as much root & surrounding dirt as u can, replant it asap, 9/10 have taken and are growing well. They do wilt at 1st but then buck up.... I've h...

Well tiny only done an inch worth, is that enuff to send off? (Can't believe I'm talking bout this )

Honestly too funny!!! Should I keep the samples in the fridge til I get a nice bit? (The kids are gonna love that!)
