Let me introduce you to Martha and Mabel two more rehomers

newforestmum · 11-09-2007, 07:34 PM

they are little thugs but very gorgeous. if I entered them in a demolition derby they would definately win

they have their own enclosure and Tom made them a house with any easy access door for cleaning but they know it opens

so they try and knock it down from the inside. Bless them. Unfortunately they can only have the full run of the garden when we are around to supervise them, but they just don't understand. although when we do open it up and let them go for a walk one of them always goes back in on their own accord so maybe they are learning that the grass is not greener on the other side ha ha

Mabel (approx 3 yr old sulcata weighing approx 6.5kg)

Martha (approx 3 yr old sulcata weighing approx 6.3kg)

Yes, they are lovely,,,,,,,,,,,, just shows the difference in individual torts though... my two sulcs are the same age and only weigh 2.10lb and 3.4lb!!!!!!!
your ones are about 4 times the weight of mine!

newforestmum · 12-09-2007, 09:52 PM

may need to do a bit of research
