So before my horse field was about to hibernate I noticed she was sick. As she was winding down and always in her hide I wasn’t sure if she was winding down or Ill. Anyhow I took her to the vets and she gave me anti biopics which I have been giving for about a month. Her health has improved...

My Russian female has been ill lately. I look back now and it’s been a small while really. Her eyes have been puffed up so much so they was closed. As I have other Russians not affected I figured it was best to separate and not hibernate this particular female. All live out side in a 20x4...

Not permanent outdoor home but does the job perfect for the time being. Think temps outside was a bit on the cool side at 14 degrees but was no wind in ggarden as we have high fencing. Also the cold frame works wonders especially with a basking spot inside The temp inside the cold frame was 34...
