Tinsel and Brandy worries

alicia · 12-05-2011, 03:27 PM

hey guys, just thought id post this quick as im abit worried about my two...
the past 2 weeks they have both been totally lazy... not doing much at all usually when i check them in the afternoon there are basking or looking for food and walk over when they see me. but lately they are staying in the same place in the enclosure, im not seeing them bask or even walk about! what do you think this could be? ive not changed anything in their enclosure and the temps are about 20-30c
:S puzzled...

rae is having the same problem with her 2 - cheese and pickle- she has a thread up about it

are you torts poo'ing normally?

My pair have been kind of like that too Alice, not sure if it's maybe because we had that warm week or two rather early and it's kind of knocked them back a bit now being a bit cooler?

My Marley has slowed down a little too... I think it's the change in weather.

Hi
I have noticed that too. I definitely think it's down to the weather.

on the radio today that gardener bloke from wales on the jeremy vine show was saying that because of the warm spell we had last month it has fooled plants into summer growth, strawberries are ready now he said. with it becoming cooler again some plants are suffering. it wouldn't surprise me if it has fooled the torts too
