So beautiful. But your other torts shells are much smoother. Why is that? And I see the tell tail evidence of the meal worm. I fed three to little Rue once and then her eating slowed down and I had the problem with her poop (which I think was the substrate) but have been too scared to give her any again. I should try one or two again with her, as she really liked it. And don't worry I know it is a treat only be given once in a Blue Moon. Is the Moon Blue yet?
Do you think so ? The picture was taken very near. Negra has an other shell like the sullies, but I think no pyramiding.
I feed my redfoots dryed mealworms from time to time. My Hermanns don`t like them and the sullies love them but are not allowed to get them often.
When you see some pieces of a mealworm in a torts poop it is no problem. I saw the pics of Rue`s poop and think so too. Nothing to be worried about.:)

No they don't bite as far as I know, but I still don't like them. Gives me the hibbbyy jeeebbbies. But I do believe that everything has it's place, that is why I leave them alone in the garden. In the house......well that is a different story, as that is MY territory.
I like they way you are thinking:D

This is my little "black sheep", my sweet "problem child" . Her name is "Shari".
I got her already pyramided and had to keep her alone because she was too small living together with my three bigger ones.
Now we both are fighting against the pyramiding and I think we will win. Shari has gained 200 gr. last month and is doing well. It will take time to smoothe her shell but I think there is a chance.
She came to me from a different breeder who feeds his babies only hay from the day they hatch. There are a lot stupid "breeders".

I now know that it was the substrate which was very wet underneath. I think Mark was correct that everytime Rue drank water she would pee into the substrate. Because as soon as I put new substrate in, her poop started getting much better and firmer. But at the time I was really really panicking. Thank goodness for all the reassurances from here, it helped calm me down. I really don't know what I would do if I didn't have you guys to help. I love this place. Okay soppy stuff over now. Lol

Good afternoon all. A very quick visit.

I have been in a meeting room discussing online safety all morning with experts from across the county. Now I am out and the sun is out. I need some fresh air and a walk. Not see you later :)
Enjoy your walk in the fresh air. I am enjoying the smell of rain.
