You are right to get the conditions right first. If I can help with any more questions then just let me know.

How old are your CB?

They're between 3 and 1 years old, I'll see what they think of the bread tomorrow

any particular bread?

No I usually use white or wholemeal try to avoid the seeded/granary ones. Let me know what they think of it. As they are juveniles once a week or fortnight would be enough unless they really enjoy it its the first thimng to be eaten with ours!

No, however I came across the website about a month ago when I was reading about box turtles and sent paul a few emails about housing a boxie and was planning getting one from him when my girlfriend bought me another redfoot

and with my uni exams coming up I had to delay being able to get one
