It explains illnesses with details, and writes it in a reasonable understandable way. All books in the Pet Owners Guides series are brilliant. Do you have this book, Geomyda?

Geomyda,
Due to an Amazon button pressing episode I have 3 copies of this book. I'll give you a copy next time I see you. Like most older tortoise books it suffers from premature ageing of some of the care advice given but from what I remember its quite good introduction. |

2002.
Actually having just had a flick through, it's good. I disagree with some of the dietry recommendations but that's just personal preference. My apologies to EB and the author. |
