Ed, no need for insults for a light hearted comment which wasn't aimed at yourself

Your own fault. It followed my post without a quote. You also seem to have a habit for trying to derail topics.

I saw your post as an insult and responded in kind.

An insult to who?

And...lets get this back on track and try and keep the personnal issues out of it

Thanks guys

Sorry if I've offended anyone - it really was a light hearted comment in the midst of a serious and interesting thread

Oh you havn't don't worry!A bit of banter goes a long way and in no way derails anything.Thought we were trying to keep the fun in chelonia care.

I just noticed this... the irony is that the idea was swiped from an industrial tortoise keeper in the US who capitalized on the internet when the internet was just gaining common popularity... just to keep the history streight.

I'll give Lin the credit for being the pioneer for creating the most comprehensive tortoise weed list on the net as far as those tortoises kept in the UK... and anywhere else... actally.

that article is beyond excellent. thanks for sharing!!! it answers so many questions for me, including size of vegetable pieces, etc.

I agree with you shell-shocked. Its a classic!

Can you get your hands on any Pre Alpin?

This stuff is great for tortoises. There are a few different versions of it and I highly recommend it.
