My new horsfield :)
 

I picked up Gladys the 9 y/o horsfield on Friday, this is us having a little cwtch :)
I'm a little worried about her shell, some patches are loose/flakey, and she has some bits of paint on her?!
What does everyone think? You can't really see the flakey shell here, I'll take some better pics tomorrow :)

he looks cosy. My daughter likes to cuddle our torts but the torts dont much like it so have had to forbid snuggle times now sadly.

Helo, he looks good to me, his shell looks quite smooth, would like to see his face, how much does he weigh? X

Looks snug and warm!!

Mine come for a cuddle every now and then too!! Mainly with my OH who says he doesn't really like them lol!!!! But one of them always bites his chin:lol:

Here she is :)

Can you give us her weight & carapise (underside) length. You do this by putting a piece of paper upto some skirting board. place her on the paper & by pushing her up to a slirting board (that pushes her head in) mark the piece of paper where her shell ends with a pen. Measure that length and hey presto you know how big she is.
This weight / length will give the experts in here to give you a guide to her age.
I only say this because I have just got a female H/field and she looks massive compared to yours and she is meant to be 8yrs old.
Suppose I'm just curious?
