Where do you get your weeds from?

Rae · 07-05-2011, 12:40 PM

grown myself in topsoil mixed with calcium flour stuff bought from shelled warriors shop. And a few plants out front of my house and a local patch of grass inbetween a housing estate.

Do you use nutrobal
Sorry for all the questions

Rae · 07-05-2011, 12:47 PM

They have access to Cuttlefish all the time and nutrobal is very lightly sprinkled on 2-3 times a week and calcium flour on 3 days and 1 day free!

Is ok questions leads to answers eventually!

Hmmmmm I use nutobal every other day and they have cuttle fish and lime stone flour in a bowl. Egg of worms could be on your weeds if your picking in places dogs and cats go,

You seem to be doing everything ok another thing I would cut down on baths

Rae · 07-05-2011, 12:56 PM

So give them less time in the baths or not bath everyday? I thought little uns had to be bathed daily! Woops!

I always wash my weeds really thoroughly and they only been in my friends garden twice so been indoors most of the time i've had them so would be suprised if they had worms! I will try lowering temps see if that works but was definately bit cooler yesterday and she was asleep all day then too!

Would giving her a bit of cucumber help her to poo i'm not sure if she has today or yesterday? Not sure if that would make her sleepy? x

Worth a try, bath 3 times a week, hatchlings need bathing everyday till they eat once eating every other day, I do my 3 months olds 3 times a week now, if still no joy maybe a poo sample by the vets,

Where did you get your tortoises from

Rae · 07-05-2011, 01:02 PM

Dawn Fletcher in Leeds.

ok i'll try cucumber and see if that does anything and i'll bath every other day and if no better in a day or 2 will send poo sample to vets!

I hate worrying about her!

Hey we all worry about them, I have 21 and worry about every single one, you can only try things and see if they work, if not try something else, I also think they can sense the weather change before we see it, and there bodys react to it so they know before we do

Rae · 07-05-2011, 01:11 PM

Thank you!

Yeah i've noticed they sense weather changes they definately slower on rainy days and happier on sunny days!

Fingers crossed she feels better soon!

She's dug herself in for the night under the heat lamp now!
