Is that one of your Redfoots with them Marsha? It looks like they're all doing fine.Hi Natrah, every one is doing fine, Thank you for asking.
The weather is warming up here so the kids have been spending most the day out in the Tortle tub. One end has a lil pond for them to wade through, or get a sip of water. The other end has bark with part of it shaded so they don't get too hot, we dumped some crickets in it, so the Boxie* has some munchies if she wishes.
*I just adopted another Boxie yesterday, she is just like bump. I'm told she is more than 20 years old, and has a VERY good appetite. She ate 8 super worms after her soak yesterday afternoon.
Yes, that is the older one, were hoping/refer to it as a Her. Her name is spot! and my Bump is the one with a Velcro patch on her backside..Is that one of your Redfoots with them Marsha? It looks like they're all doing fine.

Hello,Hey MenagerieGrl,
Sorry to interrupt but….
It looks like I’m the picture that new tort is saying “does this piece of square paper make my butt look big?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also, is that a Sulcata to the left???
I don’t see spikes on her legs though??
Is she ok? She kinda looks sad.?
The other two look like they’re following each other and left her out.? 😢🥺☹️
Dear Sue,Natrah I hope you start to feel better soon. Blocked sinuses are very uncomfortable & really affect everything you do. Also Angie, hopefully you’ll get to the bluebell wood in time before they ’go over’.
Im glad Jacky is doing so well. Dickie has been eating some dandelions, cabbage & nibbling at a few other things. It’s been sunny so she has been active. I would like to try her on radicchio but it’s not in our supermarket & I don’t know where to find it. How long does it keep? I’ve recently ordered some opuntia pads & tortoise hay neither of which she’s been interested in. Being a bit of a novice I was expecting a bag of small opuntia pads but instead got one very large one!
Fingers crossed for more sunny days.
Goodnight everyone
If you get a mixed salad bag from the supermarket, it may have bits of radicchio in it - you can't miss them because they are bright pinky red - and you could see how Dickie likes it, before trying to get a full-size head of it. I would be happy to send you one, if all else fails, but I suggest you find any greengrocers shops near you, and ask if they could get hold of it - if so, I would definitely order a couple to start with, as they will last several weeks in the fridge - you just pull a few outer leaves off each time you need then. We started off that way, and when the shop closed down, we were able to contact the supplier, who has a huge storage place near Barnstaple, and we are able to go there to get them. We pay £2 a head. We take Zola, who the people there really like to see. Some people refer to it as Red Lettuce, but I believe it is related to chicory.Natrah I hope you start to feel better soon.

Thanks so much will do that. We’ve got her some of the things from the Tortoise table food list as well but she hasn’t eaten them yet but we will keep trying.If you get a mixed salad bag from the supermarket, it may have bits of radicchio in it - you can't miss them because they are bright pinky red - and you could see how Dickie likes it, before trying to get a full-size head of it.
