fun in the sun today

Taszia · 17-03-2016, 05:13 PM

I would just like to say that i am really hoping there will be no negative comments today.i just wanted to be able to share some pictures of my happy kids today. Really puts people off using this site when the negativity starts because not all of us are experts or are able to have the best or biggest of the best. Everyone starts somewhere and I am sure it is better that people are trying to do the right thing ... it may not be a mansion but it's what we have til we can do better one day and i think it is a lot better than being stuck in some poor viv .

I just love the first picture - sun is out and they are going inside! I couldn't believe my 2 seemed to spend more time in the shade than the sun their first day out and that is not because they are not used to the warmth, as they have been spending much time under the MV lamp since coming out of hibernation.

All the pictures are just great. More ideas for me!

I agree with you, whatever we do may not be perfect but we do it with the best intentions and as you say 'better than a viv'. I know I am still learning and have really enjoyed the forum. I recognise there are some different views and that should be welcomed.

I hope everyone in the UK is experiencing this lovely weather - no rain, wonderful. I saw West Scotland had 17 degrees this week.

I think they look fantastic, their enclosure and house look really good. Really nice pics.
And you don't need the biggest and the best or a mansion, just a bit of imagination, and make things out of what you've got.

The top pic is actually the last for some reason they posted backwards. To much running around then took themselves to bed.

Great! They look so contempt. I can see them wondering around..sniffing the spring air and soaking some sun rays..all that have obviously given them good appetite...

....'nom nom nom'

I can't see any need for negativity. All I see is a great enclosure with everything they need. Great photos, Taszia!

Taszia I have always loved your tortoises they always look happy ! and great pics too ! You had them from quite small didn't you ? CB

I did 5 months old.. there is about 6 and a half months between them. The space isn't massive but I just wanted them to enjoy the outside as.much as they can. We are in the middle of house buying so are looking forward to building the new den when we move. Always worry when people say it isn't big enough or they look unhealthy or what am I feeding them. I just try to keep them happy x
