We only give mealworms to robins and blackbirds - and the many other birds who come have to make do with the various foods we put out for them (including Lidl grated cheese, which is very popular) The robin won't come to Richard if he is wearing a hat, though he doesn't mind what else he...
Dear Ruth - I hope your house move is going well, and that Teztez is being helpful ! I'm sure you have a great deal on your mind, but when things settle down a bit, we hope you will update us on the Lady's progress. ( and yours, of course ).
Zola is doing pretty well - he hasn't had regular...
Hello Natrah - I hope your day has been a good one.Zola didn't have a walk today, as we had to make an emergency drive to the pet shop at Tavistock to stock up on mealworms for the robins. There are at least 2 babies who come out now to watch their dad fetch mealworms from Richard, and the poor...
Thanks for all the information - I've told Richard, but his latest email from his sister was very offensive, and he is in no hurry to reply to her.She can be very unpleasant - including to Harry - so that does complicate things. I think we just have to leave it to her at the moment, until she...
Dear Natrah - I helped my dad feed the robin today ! It has been quite cold though, and I didn't go on the breakwater, so I was a bit cross. When I was in the conservatory, I did a lot of banging about and climbing - my mum thought I wasn't very happy, so we went into the fire room, and I sat...
She was beautiful,and I don't think you have anything to forgive yourself for. These things happen, and there is another tortoise out there looking for a wonderful home with you and your little boy - please try again. Now you have this forum to help you, and there are people who know a huge...
Hello Natrah - Zoola is back to his normal self today, after a good sleep, but he didn't go on the breakwater, as his dad wanted to strim the wide grass verge outside our hedge at the front. He prefers to do it on a Sunday, as there is less traffic. While doing it, he saw several swallows...
Opo is the handsomest tortoise ever, as I think I've said more than once before. You must be very proud of him. i do hope his health and weight problems are improving.

Zola went out with his dad for a walk -it was a lovely sunny day, and I think he wanted to make up for all the walks he had missed recently, so he went on and on along the breakwater and back, having a great time - but when he came home he was so exhausted he could hardly walk up his ramp to his...
Zola and I hope you will feel much better tomorrow - and congratulations about the possible 5 new pupils - people obviously have realised what a great teacher you are !
Lots of love from Angie and Zola xxxxx
Dear Natrah -it was sunny and not windy today, so we went to the bluebell wood - however, the flowers were not fully open yet, but very pretty still. On our drive through the lovely countryside, we were looking out for lambs in the fields - we only saw ones in the distance, which was...
My mum and dad have been feeding the robins for many years in our garden - once, several years ago, the postman, who they knew quite well, happened to come as the robin was feeding. The postman saw him on my dad's hand, and was amazed. Richard asked if he would like to offer him some, and the...
