So the uk has finally had some good weather, well south wales has anyway so i thought i would get Jimmy out for some sunshine, for those of you that may have read the posts about him being ill at the beginning of the year he is now doing great, totally back to normal and eating like a little...

I am away on holiday at the moment visiting my parents in Germany, i am missing Jimmy lots but he is in good hands with my sister and her fiance, her fiance has been sending be daily updates and here are two pictures he sent me yesterday, enjoy and thanks for looking.

As some of you may be aware from previous threads, Jimmy has had some ongoing problems which have led from him having parasites. Well yesterday he was at the vets and the vet was very pleased with his progress and he is still steadily gaining weight so the vet did not want to put him on...

This is little Jimmy looking very well, eating but actually he is having respiratory issues, he has been on oral marbocyl for quite a while now, we are at the vets next thursday and it is looking like he will be getting an x-ray and being changed to a different antibiotic which i will be giving...

Jimmy at first in february went to the vets with a heavy parasite load, he is now clear of parasites but then developed a respiratory infection, no nasal discharge just clicking noises and went lethargic, he was being treated with marbocyl orally and improved drastically but just as tomorrow was...

What type of thermometer would people recommend? I have had a number of different types but i want to buy a new more accurate one.

So this wasn't quite what i had in mind when i put the dish of limestone flour in there... ...I rarely see him eat it but he sure seems to like to sit in it and now is currently sleeping in it, they really do the funniest things sometimes!

I think my tort may be ill, he is sleeping a lot more than usual, although he isn't atall week when i do have him out. He also isn't eating as much which concerns me, his weight has dropped slightly but i think that is just due to him not eating as much the last 3 days. Also his stools have been...

I was just wondering how often the lamp should be changed. I have been changing it every 6 months as this is what i had read to do but in the mean time i have read that you only need to change it every 12 months of use, i was just wondering how often other people changed theirs? Obviously i...

The first picture was taken when i first got him about 1 year and 3 months ago and the second and third i took today, i didn't actually realize how much he had grown until i looked at the two pictures next to each other. Just thought i would share.

I was just curious as to what weight, in comparison with the scl, of their eastern hermanns tortoise's are? Mine was 24g and 4cm when i got him ( but with problems with worms) in november 2009 and now 104g and 8.1cm in january 2011. Is this an ok weight? he is roughly 17 months old and seems to...

Happy new year! It has been a long time since i have posted anything, i have just been so busy lately especially with revision for exams at uni, fun fun fun lol. I just wanted to check, i gather the flowers on spider plants are safe if my tort was to eat one, i was just feeding him when i...

I have just bought a kalanchoe plant and i want to plant it in my tortoises enclosure but i realize that i will have to plant it into chemical free soil and leave it for some time before putting into the enclosure, i was just wondering how long at least i should wait before planting it in the...

I took a wonder with my boyfriend to the seaside and i took loads of pictures so i thought i would share some of them, i have never lived by the seaside before so this is definitely feeling like such a novelty at the moment.

So i have recently moved to Swansea, Wales and the weather surprisingly was good enough to get Jimmy out, sorry about it being so picture heavy, i took 150 so i have actually cut it down a lot! I wish i had waited and entered one of these into the calender contest now...

Does anyone know what the names of the following weeds are and whether they are edible. I am pretty sure this is babys tears and is edible but i just wanted to check 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Thanks in advance.

I have just moved from germany to Swansea and my little tort Jimmy did great, his first time at sea! I am a little concerned though. I let him have a little to eat when we got to Wales and i thought i could see an odd colouring on part of his tongue but i am not sure whether it is just from the...

So i started trying to grow weeds indoors in seed trays about 8 months ago, the first lot died but i planted more and the nipplewort seems to be the only one actually doing well, the rest are spindly or have just died, i planted them in coco coir because i couldn't find any plain topsoil at the...

My mum and dad found a woodpecker on the street, it couldn't fly and was trying to climb up a tree but would get about 2 meters up and then fall off, we don't know what has happened to it, there are no signs of injury, we have got it in a cat carrier at the moment, we didn't just want to leave...
