The Tortoise Table

Thats the trouble with a sulcata, Bex. They never get any smaller -
Adorable.

Hiya. Its good that all seems pretty stable but in the last week, of week 8, when she should have been most settled she looses 6g. Could this be a pointer that it was a wee. If there was no clumping last week when you weighed her and a few days later there was. If she were mine I would personally ta...

Aww, thats adorable. I think they also like the attention we give in making those efforts.

Lin

It looks wonderful Bex. No wonder her feet havnt touched the floor. Much more room and things of interest to keep her occupied. I doubt she will have time to eat -
Lin

Hiya. Sounds like a plan coming together and when its underway we would love to be updated with photos if you have time. As you have found that whatever you plant will be eaten to the ground as soon as they find it so it may be better to plant in a raised bed and allow overhang that they can get to ...

I would have said the same Nina but I have just seen that the Campanula grow in USDA zone 4 which is -20F to -30F and lower. Quite a hardy little plant. Lin [quote=Nina post_id=1375 time=1514999840 user_id=52] Campanulas are great plants, and I agree that they are very hardy, but I'm not sure if the...

Happy New year to you and Steve from me too.

Can I add that Campanula does well left outside and if you look at the photos in our entry you can see one that is covered in melting snow.

Once you start looking into the webpages it is quite a large place and often growing, especially the database. Between here and the FB page we do sometimes get a bit slow but do our best to keep up - :lol: If theres anything else you need Will, just get back and we will do our best. Have a Happy New...

Hi Ashleigh.
Has this tortoise been collected yet. Just so we can keep the records straight as I will adjust the subject line.

Lin

Hi Will, glad you found it - lol I dont know if you have seen this but it might throw some light on your questions on how often to feed specific colour codes, you have to scroll down a bit. There are no hard and fast rules just to make sure that tortoises dont have to much of one code. Its fine for ...

I believe Adan has mailed you asking about Raffy, Steve. If he is available would you check your inbox and contact him.
Many thanks.
Lin

Hi Steve. Has raffy found his forever home yet or are you still looking.
Lin

It would be nice but dont hold out for him coming up before the spring. A sleeping tortoise will not get up once dug in and comfortable. I would hedge my bets on that is what has happened. I have heard of some people finding their tortoises over a year down the line in the same garden they were last...

Ok, no worries and I am sorry for your loss but I am afraid to say that this one isnt yours as it was found around six years ago. Have you thought yours might have dig down during a cool snap and decided to hibernate. You never know, he may pop back up in the spring. Never give up though and always ...

Have you lost one Shkebab?.
If you have can you say when and send in a photo of the plastron.

Lin

So pleased to say that this lovely tortoise has now got a lovely home to go to.
If there is any change we will let you know.

Lin

Have sent you another PM Ashjohn. I need a working email addy from you.

Lin

This adorable young man (that could be female) really needs a nice forever home to settle into before Christmas. His previous owners found him wandering the road some time back and now want to have him looked after by people that know his needs. All we know is that he is more than 6 years old, likes...

I am sending you a PM Ashjohn.
Lin

Fingers crossed Stew, and good luck to the future new parents.
I'm sure you will soon have then where they will settle fast.
Lin

Looks like you have a few people interested Stew. Fngers crossed you find Mr or Mrs right to take over your wonderful care. You can ask for pics of potential setups from indoors and outdoors, about diet and in fact you can ask anything you like, including if the rehomer will be willing to keep you u...

These are so adorable little shelled ones and so sad you have to rehome. I will put them on our FB page and send applicants to this thread so that they can contact you with their details and you will get the chance to interview them yourselfe to make sure you fine the right potential future owners. ...

Hi, sorry I dont know your name but welcome to the forum. I would think the reason behind this is that everything is new and she will take a while to settle. What substrate was she on when you collected her, can you remember? There is a bit of speculation over what to use as substrate but most torto...

Hi Yasmine. If your tortoises are showing to be a bit underweight them maybe it is better not to hibernate. However, I think this is for the younger tortoises so maybe try this calculator out and see if its showing correct. http://www.tortoise-protection-group.org.uk/site/171.asp There is also our w...

The second photo with the line of fuzzy leaves I think are young wild Burdock and a no feed. Agree with Nina with the hardy Geranium . We would need to know if the top photo is from a tree seedling or a low growing plant. Is the stem hard and woody like?. It does look like a sapling so have a look f...
