We recently made some pretty rude comments on a new member's thread about his pyramided tortoise. We really hurt his feelings.
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, and we encourage you all to express your opinions, however, there is a right way and a wrong way.
This tortoise was well past the age of being able to do anything about the pyramiding anymore. So we didn't have to tell him OMG...that poor tortoise! What you did! Shame, shame. Would you say that to his face?
All I'm saying is can we all please be a bit more diplomatic in our criticism of folks who have pyramided tortoises? PLEASE?
Unless we're talking MBD, pyramiding is just cosmetic. Its not harmful to the tortoise. He's not going to get sick from it. It isn't uncomfortable for him and he's not in pain. So he's not perfect. Neither am I. And probably, neither are you.
So quit throwing stones at our new members. I'm glad they have enough sense to come here and learn the proper care for their tortoise. Let's don't make them feel bad for what happened way back when the tortoise was a baby.
