Birmingham Health Checks

houseofcutler · 23-03-2012, 11:33 AM

Hi There,

There was a thread on here before about free health checks at Birmingham nature centre but it seems to have disappeared. I think there was a post in there that said there would be a health check in April, and I also got a message form Box Girl saying there was one in September.

Would love to take my torts for their first check up so I can see if im getting things right...

Is there only a check in September or are both happening?

Thanks

Bumping this up Health check Sunday 15th April Birmingham NATURE centre, Pershore Road, Birmingham.
We usually see in excess of 220 torts

What time do you open and close?
I presume things are quieter in the afternoon - Im local but having to drive back from Bristol that day

Thanks for putting this event on - will be really good to get my torts checked out and see how they/ I are/am doing

We start at 10.00 am and go on till 4.00pm when the nature centre closes.
The queue in the morning starts around 9.00am

and yes it is usually quieter after lunch but you never can tell.
