Thanks Anita. I'm so excited. Even with Ed being such a stubborn little thing i'm really looking forward to bringing her out and getting her to do proper tort things. Now I know where all the best weeds are the extra supply I always get won't go to waste. My hubby thinks i'm bonkers cos there is always a bag of water in the fridge full of left over's. X

Am excited for you Becky, she'll have a great home with you, bumps don't matter with good care over the years she will hopefully smooth out.

I'm such a worry wort.
Looking forward to giving her a nice long bath. She looks very dry.
I have quarranteened torts outside with only a fence to separate.

Hopefully by keeping stress to a minimum you'll have no problem with any possible nasties surfacing

I think when you do introduce, it would be a good idea to do it outside - you could just remove the barrier between the two separated portions and let them do their thing

Thanks bindi. That sounds like a good plan. Then they can stay on their own sides if they are nervous.
Ooh, i'm so excited. X

not just that, but their 'own side' would be familiar to them - less stress
