Hi Barbara, I'm sure we'd all love to hear how this little one is doing from time to time, will you keep us informed of his progress?

I will. I was getting really attached to him, but im going on holiday to india next week and did not have anyone that could spend a lot of time with him, so when he was offered a good home where i know he was going to get looked after properly i thought it would be best for him. Hes fought all the way and hes made it, i couldnt wish for more.

Another hatchling, an Ibera in this case, from the first lot she had was damaged at birth as she was accidentally pulled away from the cord of the egg thinking that the egg was going to explode like the others! she had neurological damage and was given advice on here that there was no hope and she should have her put down. She is now a happy, healthy, 'special needs' Ibera who my mum will never use to breed from, but has a normal active life. The conditions you describe I realise may be incompatible with life, I have no idea, but if the blindness is not cortical, then you may be able to intervene yourself. And, as tortoises rely on small, you may need to always keep her seperate, but she may have a normal life-who knows? I may be talking rubbish in your case, but am also talking from experience.

Oops! Feel a bit silly for the last post-didnt realise yours is blind cos of no eyes-dont think the above will work in this case! Sorry-should have read the post properly, but sounds like you're doing a great job!
