Oh dear. Oh well, kick them hard if you must.
I don’t know if “peaceful” is the word — I’m entertaining my daughter today. They’re on holiday this week.
P.S. I’m sure you’ve had plenty of experience kicking the Leprechaun to get him to do his chores. That should make it easier
Good morning all. Laundry day today. The sun is out, which is probably the last for the rest of this week, so I’m planning on going out to enjoy it.
I have some bee friendly seeds that need scattering on grass and we just happen to have a suitable patch of waste ground at the end of my road (my favourite tortoise weed spot that I have “cultivated” over the last couple of decades as the council mows it twice a year and that’s it)

Also, the nesting material is getting so deep that the nest box camera is struggling with focus now!

Lol, if only I could, it certainly would make me feel better. you know get rid of some of these frustrations..... Good Luck with the entertainment of your daughter. My youngest goes on school holiday for almost two weeks this Wednesday. Thank goodness he is old enough to stay at home without supervision. Although the oldest is also on holiday for a week. Sometimes I wish I could go back to school just so that I can have as many holidays as they do.Oh dear. Oh well, kick them hard if you must.

So it is going to be a game of find the chicks? Looking forward to the game.
Pictures, please, when ready!
Will do. Right now the water is nice and clear, substrate looks good, filter flowing and heater auto turning off and on. Bonus, no leaks! No real hardscaping in Yet, safe for one large conch shell. Not much to see, but here goes:
Very cool picture inside the nest box. Keep the pix coming in.
Hello roomies. Have all a nice Monday.
I am off work for 4 days. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !
Have to catch up with all your posts. I am a little bit behind....
But for sully tortoises eating I have some funny pictures for you.
The first picture shows how the "Sully table" looks in the morning.
Then the first participants arrive and beginns to eat.
The last picture shows how it looks in the evening when all 3 sullies are feed and tired.
Have fun:
The daily "tortoise-table" all you can eat buffet:
Then "Leo" arrives, having a look if all the stuff is to his satisfaction:
It seems to be okay and he starts munching away...
Short break, he has noticed my camera
and walking away for the first time....
The day was going on and the 3 sullies eat away what they want.
That`s how the "tortoise-table" looks like in the evening.....
The rest of the lettuce on a pile, ready to take out for feeding it to the chicken. I think that my chicken love tortoises very much !

and a story that I should have written some time ago:
My journey to TFO and CDR
On the 3. October, 2016 I received my 3 sullies from a German breeder.
I was not new to tortoises, I have had 2 Greek tortoises for a long time but I was completely new to sulcatas. Curious like I am I read on the I-net all what I could find about these torts.
The things that my breeder told me seems unlogical to me. He told me that sulcatas need not much humidity because they are a desert species and either need no water to soak. Only once a week a little bit water to drink. They can be kept in an open rabbit cage and the night temps could drop to 64 F at night......
Then I luckily found TFO and saw that my American friends were keeping sulcatas much more longer as pets as owners in Germany do and because of this most people in US are much more experienced with these tortoises. I read a lot on TFO and became a member. Someday when I browsed trough threads I struggled in the CDR and wrote something. Adam was online and he invited me like he do with everyone: I should grab me an armadillo to sit on and the one- legged pirate would serve me some coffee. I should be aware not to step on a hedgehog and use a yellyfish to light up the dark.........
I found my corner in this cold dark place, began to love it and I stayed.
TFO and the CDR became a part of my live and I never regret it.
