Default Fight

Hey all,

Long time since I've been on which means the torts are doing OK.

Until today!

Some how Tetley manged to get into Twiglet's enclosure and I found them in bed together. Having checked Twiglet out being the smaller of the 2 he was OK. Tetley however has quite a few bites and scales missing on his front legs.

He's walking ok but looks sore. Anything I need to do, treat them in anyway?

Thanks as always

Row x

Hi Row,

Always lovely to see you here, but not under fighting circumstances. Boys, eh?
Have you got any tamodine you could dab onto Tetley’s bites?
I think that’s what I’d do as a precaution against any bacteria getting in.

Hi,

Thanks Emma. I know blooming little monkeys! It just surprises me it's Tetley that is worse off. He looks like such a brute but obviously now more a gentle giant.

I haven't got any but I'll have a look into getting some. I must admit I did first read as tramodal lol!


I'll asses Tetley more today poor thing and have barackaded the weak point of the enclosure. It does amaze me how well they climb.


Hope all is well with you and yours?

Thanks x
