    Hello Natrah - we had snow overnight here, though not quite enough to settle except on the moors! It was really cold, however, and although Zola's dad tok him to the end of the headland to look at the sea, it was very windy, and they came back to the car fast - Zola still had his head stretched...

    New to the forum, but very familiar with it!

    Welcome, Amanda - I have been following JoJo's story closely, and I have admired your and your husband's care and persistence and devotion very much - how very fortunate that she came to you when she did. It's great to meet you Angie

    Zola's favourite is radicchio, as I said ! Angie Oh, I forgot to mention lambs lettuce, which sometimes appears in Morrisons.

    Hermann Tortoise Vivarium Help.

    Hello Kisobel I live in Devon, and we do get quite a bit of food for Zola from supermarkets - the to we use most are Morrisons (pea shoots especially )and rocket and watercress from Sainsburys. Mixed crispy salad bags are ok from most places, but we have to go for a long drive to a big...

    Dear Natrah - so you got the rain we had yesterday ! It has been dampish here, but nothing like as bad. My dad talked to the shepherdess who keeps her lambs across the road, and she has two already, and hopes for more soon, so we shall be able to see them. It is a bit too wet for them at the...

    That sounds really cool, Jacky. Can you get Natrah to send a photo of you doing that ? It has rained pretty much all day -very loudly, too - we went out in the morning for my mum to have an eye test, and then on to look at the sea, but it was too wet to see much. In the afternoon I had a rest...

    Jacky And Daisy

    Hello Natrah - I went out in the morning , but my dad went for a very long walk in the afternoon, and didn't take me ! He said it was too cold - anyway, my mum looked after me, and on the whole I was quite good, apart from a very small bite on her ankle - she shouldn't have left it so close to...

    Fake girlfriend for my tortoise

    He was still very small - 4 or 5 - when he was on his dad's desk, examining his computer, and climbed on his hand, which was over the mouse, and started moving up and down, squeaking -his dad was alarmed and called me - so I explained what he was doing. It was very funny, and we had never heard...

    Dear Natrah -The weather was awful today - especially in Zola's conservatory where heavy hail was bashing on the roof - however it improved a bit later, so he did get to look at the sea, very briefly.His dad weighed him on the post office scales, and he weighs I kilo 16 gms - about the same as...

    Fake girlfriend for my tortoise

    I think you should also include some sound effects ! Zola only gives a small squeak - but then he is trying to mate with my shoe (with my foot inside it,but fortunately he ignores that ! ) He is 23 now, and has remained fairly devoted to my foot over all those years - he has had flings with a...

    White flesh

    That does sound like a good idea - and may I suggest that every month or so you put JoJo flat , on a piece of paper and draw a line round the edge of her shell, keeping the pencil as upright as possible - cut the paper shape out - then you can lay it under the previous one each time, so you can...

    I'm back! And I have a surprise!

    There is an advantage in uneven scutes (Zola has one too) -he would be much easier to identify if by some misfortune he got out -though of course I hope that will never happen to you ! Angie

    Dear Natrah - Zola has been in a particularly good mood all day,despite the heavy rain and no chance of a proper walk. He hasn't got annoyed with me once ! I went to my balance class today, and was the only one there but it was good, because Sheila who runs it was able to concentrate on what I...

    White flesh

    She looks wonderful ! Quite at home in her little kingdom - as she deserves to be. You and your wife have done brilliantly - how very very fortunate that you got her when you did , so that she was still strong enough to recover. I think of her every day - happy she is so well, but sad that she...

    Daisy's Anniversary

    Thank you very much, Cathie. I shall let you know how I get on - i am lucky to get the treatment that I have, but I would be so happy if the new stuff works - and maybe it would stop me being so shaky and falling over too ! ! Angie

    Daisy's Anniversary

    Dear Chef ,thank you so much for writing - however,my headaches are a sort of ongoing thing - I get 35 injections in my head at the hospital every few weeks, which helps a bit -however, there is a new medicine which has only just been approved in the UK and which I am hoping to be one of the...

    Daisy's Anniversary

    Dear Natrah -Zola has had quite a good day - not me, so much - a pretty bad headache, and very shaky, but at least I didn't fall over ! He wasn't as overexcited as he has been getting recently -he had a good walk with his dad,yesterday, and is probably still a bit tired. He has two pots of...
