Can we have a sticky thread about this:

I've been doing a lot of reading up and it seems that many tortoise ailments build up slowly and by the time they are noticed it may be too late. Is there a way we can have a sticky thread with the most common tortoise ailments on it saying something like:

Shellrot - First signs of this are (whatever) first aid of it would be (whatever) you can improve this condition by doing (whatever, be it modifying diet, changing bulbs etc etc).

Just an idea but I've seen a thread where someones tort died. Maybe if he/she had seen the warning signs and acted on it straight away it wouldnt have happened.

Good idea. I think having all this infomation in one place would be a good idea

If someone wants to write one up or if people want to add to this thread with help. I can copy them all and put them in one post and make it a sticky
