    New, confused and frustrated

    Hi Carey. Sounds like you have been working really hard for your new babies. Kudos for all of the effort and good work. By the weight it sounds like they may be younger. Have you double checked the hatch date with the breeder? The only other thing I have to add (besides a hug) is I also would...

    Hummingbird cam?

    Yes! I have photos of the babies I took through a small time frame on Saturday. It was Santa Ana winds outside with 60 mph winds on the weekend and rain on Monday o_O. The babies are on my phone (tablet too big in the s-hook) I will post tomorrow a.m. Got a couple good ones. I snapped these...

    don't ask if you wont take the advice

    I agree with op but I don't know if they mean to be so stubborn. It's difficult to change a way you have been taught. Especially if it is advice you received from someone you thought was a professional. When my son was a baby pediatricians told you to always keep babies on their tummy. A...

    dealing with power cuts

    I have those hand warmers to wrap in a towel. If you don't have any try a hot water bottle or using double zip loc bags? Maybe even a Tupperware with water under towels in a smaller enclosure? Just some ideas. Not sure on the time without heat though. I guess it would vary by species. Good...

    Tortoises and their predators

    The beach can be foggy for long periods which gets everything wet and cold. I'm about 10 miles inland from the beach and it is a completely different climate. Dry,dry, dry and warm. Wish my plants had the fog for the water bill :confused:. Although our CDT wouldn't thrive.

    You know you have a tortoise when...

    When the produce guy sees you coming and goes to the back to grab the small bag he has kindly saved for you from all of trimmings, for free! Carrot tops, radish leaves, turnip tops, and a couple extra goodies he knows Tootles enjoys. - Hubby or I are in the store every other day.

    Hummingbird cam?

    Babies! Woke up to egg shells on the ground at 6 am so hatch was during the night. Took a quick peek with the mirror this afternoon and they look fine. I can also tell mommy is feeding two so both seem to be eating fine. I won't get pics until Saturday or Sunday. Leaving her alone for now...

    Injured Greek - front legs (shell caused?)

    Welcome to the forum. I'm a newbie also but I have seen that you can wash/rinse a small injury and put a little antibiotic ointment. The calvary will be here soon. I usually keep saline solution for eyes and wounds to wash. Good luck.

    Cleaning water dish/better solutions?

    Sounds like the morning routine here. I purchased several extra saucers though since they are so cheap and have rinsed dry ones ready. That way when in a rush I drop in the clean ones and can get to the dirty bucket later in the day.

    How did you find TFO?

    I did find all of you on my own thank goodness the day I found our tort on Google. Our dog had a vet appointment 2-3 days later and I showed him photos of Tootles. He recommended this forum right away and admitted it was the best place to go and even he used the forum when needed. I knew I...

    Hummingbird cam?

    Hi Jacqui Yes, one is larger. I need to pull out my other sd card from prior year for more photos. If you notice in the last nest one baby is larger (the big mouth) and it was the same. We actually named the larger one "Bully". Always had a mouth open and eating first. We were very concerned...

    Planting in egg shells.

    Yes, it's Jacquie. Pleasure to meet you Jacqui (the tablet wants to auto correct your spelling :p) So happy these will work. Great minds (or names) think alike.

    Planting in egg shells.

    Eggsactly! Love the spelling of you name. For some reason my mom added the "e" when I was little. My original spelling was Jacqui :)

    Planting in egg shells.

    Yes. I did that when I started seeds two years ago. The veggies went in to the ground and grew beautifully.
