That's good news, he didn't need the blue pills but he's not been quite as active this spring. He's getting quite frail now, I do worry about him .

Glad they're looking good Suze. How wonderful that you're always going to have a lasting legacy of Sammy and Jemima in Phoebe and hopefully with some new little ones too.

Candled them yesterday and I've definitely got one baby on the way. I'm not expecting all of them to develop as she is such an old tortoise. I'm amazed that any are fertile. But one more little Jemima would be all my Christmases come at once.
