Oh bless him. He's a real little cutie. I'm so pleased that he loves his food (my lot love lambs lettuce too) and that his eyes and nose are so much better.
I'm sure he'll gain in confidence and the better he gets the less he'll sleep. Woodward is such a sweet name - after Edward??
Keep up the good work.

oooh you are good ! it was that or Claude Rains, Rainey but i'm saving that one for a look a like Margy. Im not getting the vibe yet. He does suit (Edward)Woody Woodward better. poor little mite has had a right old time. Needed a big name to boost his morale. CB

I never found it anything but just plain weird. Never sure why they wanted to do a re-make either.
Yup, we're all like it down this way - carrot-crunching pagan wicker-building nutters!!

Have you seen the Wicker Man on the M5? I'm sure it serves as a warning to strangers!!!

Oh no I hadn't Emma ! I just looked and omg I feel like I am in a horror movie. Some one is having a last laugh !
What with The Wicker Man, Boris Karloff and Carrie with a couple of others I have never watched a horror movie again.....I haven't seen a remake but yes I agree I never understood why they made that film (but Woodward was excellent I must say), perhaps the author was a tourist and had a bad experience in Cornwall! His Cornish pastie wasn't cooked or something like that I suspect.

He sleeps 95% of the day under his lamp and I will have to wake him up to eat, usually after a bath (hipp baby organic carrot and reptoboost) at exactly 37 degrees, and then he sleeps.

His swollen eyes have gone right down. (opticom). Clearly as I' am tied to the kitchen sink most days, he is still in a grow bag tort table in the kitchen, so I can keep a close watch on him. His shell rot has cleared up and he isn't so bubbly nose (warmth and rest).

I don't hand feed him as he closes his eyes if I go near him still, but he woofs down his food. And looks up for more. Handsome devil he is and I call him Woodward. I think he is waving at us.








You did well with this little guy Cherry B. Keep the soaks going. Sounds like vitamin A is needed. Carrot juice soaks.
Love how this little guy just sleeps on what ever is available. Cute butt.
