Why should you feel sad about the pyramiding. In the majority of the cases it is strictly a cosmetic condition. While some might not like the way it looks it usually has nothing to do with the overall health of the animal.

I'm supposed to be moving south in the next few weeks and by god they are goin to have a smashing enclosure, Tortoise Towers I'm calling it. I know exactly how you feel, I've blamed myself alot recently but realised that the advice I was given when I got Cookie (five years ago) was not what it should be so I'm not entirely to blame.

Doesn't stop me from feeling very sad though when I realise that her pyramiding could have been avoided

I'm glad you put this thread up.
