Thank you!!
If were not at the park, zoo, or library... we're out back w/ Franklin!! He's been getting a min. of 3-4 hours of sun a day~ I still don't like to leave him alone out back since his area is not covered~ the birds seem to creep up on him any chance they get if he is unattended...
(this is a video... hopefully I did it right, click on it to watch)
Franklin has been trying to get up and over this rock for about a week now, he finally made it ;) Somebody's legs are getting stronger :)
:D I sure hope so!! It's so funny to me how excited I got when he was getting some "air time" during exercise yday :D (Someone should put out some sort of warning about how fast you can fall in love & become obsessed with your :tort: cute little four legged & shelled friends!!! Seriously~ I...
Franklin the DT got some serious "air time" while exercising today!!!
After about 4 hours in the sun wandering his little area outside~ he did his "physical therapy" on the rocks, he's become quite the rock climber and was really pushing up his little body when going from rock to rock (these...
:D :D :D THANK YOU!!! I hope he is happy & not in a lot of pain, I am sure having MBD is no walk in the park... We are trying our best to give him a good life and hopefully turn this lil guy around :) :tort:
how do I find Danny?
Thank you!! It's been just over 3 months since we've had him, he is much more active these days & I just can't get enough of him :D I wondering how old he is, I know there is no way of really telling... Maybe I should finally measure him!
Hey all :D
A few updates on Franklin:
Franklin's official name is Art Shell, Franklin being his middle name. (My hubby is the football fan and my girls are 4 & 5, anyone seen the cartoon? Anyway, that's how we named him) Well, since there have been recent posts of~ "holy moly, she's a...
It's so he can hide~ he seems to like a good hide-out, you can't see but he can hide on the other side of it... just enough space for him to munch on grass wedged b/n a rock and palm bark :D
A ramp sounds fun tho... I have plenty more bark, thanks for the idea ;)
The weather is so amazing~ I've been spending all day on the back patio w/ my girls (it's Spring Break!!) & Franklin :tort: is loving it! He seems to really be diggin' the flower pot for shade. Although 1/2 of this area is shaded, he really likes this little spot :) I have "rocked" off a little...
Thanks, Tom :)
It won't mold?
Eventually~ I'll be able to build him an enclosure outside in the backyard... hopefully by next year he'll be better to stay out all the time!
I made a humid hide box out of an old ice cream bucket :)
I had to switch things around a bit but I am now using the ramp since his is walking now! Woohoo :tort: Go FRANKLIN!!!
Check it out...
My name is actually Alisha ;) (A-lee-sha)
Lee is something my family and close friends call me... LeeBug is something my parents have called me all my life~ 'bug' as in lady bug ;)
yeah, it's been in the late 20s here in AZ...
I am thinking of making him a humid hide box or should I cover some of his enclosure to get some humidity goin on in there?
