So I, (the person who suggested he should start a thread) would be the one who would prevent him from starting a thread? What a great answer

Noone rejects this solid input so could be the truth.

"Pellet type foods (An often overlooked factor of pyramiding is grain based diets. These are the pellet food that some claim to be essential to health. They typically contain soy, wheat and or rice. These are high in omega 6 fatty acids which has a negative effect on health. They also have an acidifying effect which causes a leaching of bone. They are high in phytate which binds calcium and other minerals. They also have an unfavorable ca/ph ratio and a low ca/mg ratio which has a negative impact on calcium metabolism. Grains alter Vit D metabolism. Diets high in grains can have a negative impact on bone growth in spite of adequate exposure to sunshine.

Now here are a few facts for you:

Ed - You are a fantastic tortoise keeper and educator, but like I have said on numerous occasions your social skills are a bit tired and when met with Chris you show no shame!

Chris - You are also a fantastic tortoise keeper and educator. But you are a wind up merchant and when teamed with Ole you also so no shame!

Ole - You are also a fantastic tortoise keeper - however I feel you could use and share your knowledge more on posts rather then using your rather impressive sarcastic manner to be a rebel!.....and again you show no shame!

Now I get on with all of you and I care about about this forum. I have found this thread very distressful and I think you all need to make an apology to the Members of Shelled Warriors for making this forum your boxing ring!

Guys you just can't keep doing this you are destroying what Shelled Warriors is about. People want help and advice so can you please try and get along for the sake of other members rather then your own.

I would really appreciate it if you could just put this behind you because I am getting quite upset, that the 3 people who I get on with most and turn to for advice is unintentional pushing me away........

Lots of Love

That's a very fair point Sara.

I will admit to being at fault too and therefore would like to aplologise to Red Foot Marg, Osric Jonathan, ONeilson and anyone else who may have been offended by any of my comments in this or any other thread

when I have the time I'll address this for the benefit of those who read that garbage that is taken out of context.

Nowhere is it stated that it is 'essential for health' but I can see where that could be taken out of context... 'this diet provides all the nutrients that are essential for good health'... I just wrote that and didn't take it off a package.

I state that a formulated diet is an alternative for providing good nutrition to a captive tortoise.

Ok, closing this one now, I'm sure none of you are surprised, but what a shame that once again a discussion has turned into a nasty bitter slanging match.

I suggest that Neddy's last post is read again, there is alot of sense in there.

Time to take a breather folks.
