Kirkie i was traumatised the temp was -2!! Thank you so much for your help and everybody
who responded. I didn't sleep last night as we spent the night bathing Louis and watching, today we both had to go to work leaving Louis in the enclosure but not directly under the light. Chris was home first and feared the worst as Louis was in the position we had left him. Bathed him again and then back under the light, meanwhile Tinky oblivious to the trauma tucked into his first meal. Then low and behold Louis decided to have a nibble, unbelievable!! My nerves are like shredded wheat and we will continue with the baths and keeping a close eye on him! We lost our beloved turtle Hugo three years ago who was a big part of our family, so i cant put into words the fear. Thank you all again when my hands eventually stop shaking I will post pics of my two babies Tinky & Louis. Boo |

Hi Boo,
Sounds like they had a very lucky escape. I think now they are both eating they will be back to normal in no time. Looking forward to seeing them in some pics.
