she LOVES her hide & she can eat so much.

her legs are TONS better.
as you know she couldn't really walk all that well.
when we got her on the 29th she was still like that, well yesterday she was running around like normal.
i can slip my hand under her shell, without touching it, when she's standing now.
before she could not get her shell off the ground.
we think she just needed sunlight & proper food.
she was in the store with a small cage, the wrong bedding, & NO sunlight whatsoever for we're guessing 6 months to a year, if not longer.
& it really affected her.
my friend who worked there tried to work with zoe, but nothing helped her walking & the manager wouldn't let my friend take her outside. then we told her that bedabeast was the wrong bedding & as soon as she changed it, her shell rot stopped spreading, with the help of the new bedding & a little medecine.

so she's is doing so much better.
