[tyler0912]

Well as may off you know....
I spent all of my xmas money on tiago...
Soo my parents felt sorry for me (not sure why?), and went got me this for a surprise....
A big cherryhead(?) female.....she is called 'Big momma'
She was put straight with tiago for about 8hrs til i got home so quarantine did not happen but she had a checkup this morning at 8am and got the all clear as did tiago!
Enjoy these pictures!
How old is she?
I was told 6-7yrs old but Tiago is suppose to be 6-8yrs old :/
Which is right?

~Is 'she' a cherry?

In the bathtub with tiago!

Hope you enjoyed! I did!

One question....Is she a cherryhead?

Many thanks! ,

Ps. She loves The Bathtub and loves the shower on her head!

Tyler ....remember not too much protien...exspecially in the winter time. Their metabolism slows down, so not too much need for high energy foods. Just keep in mind a varied diet is best with greens and fruit try giving them some mushrooms….they will love it!

ps. the new female could use a little beak trim. If clippers don’t work, you can try a fingernail file. Some torts are reluctant to keep their head out during this process , while others could care less. Its a practiced chore. Once done , keep them in check with large chunks of cuttle bone , good for the body ( calcium) and ideal in helping keeping beaks in check!

She has cuttlefish and i think she has a defficiency with coming from a petshop...
Thanks for the info on protein!
I will try a file!
