Thank goodness for that I would have to be completely unconscious too.
Did you know that any professional who does colonic work has to be registered with a union?
It's the Association of Rectal Service Engineers.
Of course they're usually just known by their acronym.

Muahaha how fitting

Good evening Lyn. Hope you are well land that Lola is better.

I love the sea. I've been thinking of moving to Aqaba, however I'm hesitant.

Hi Gillian sorry its taken me so long to get to here. I was trying to catch up on posts and then my sister rang me so was on the phone for an hour telling her all about Lola.
I hope you have had a good day today.

By the way, where is Ada @Tidgy's Dad ? Have not seen him around for the second consecutive day.

He only popped back briefly yesterday and said he would be working for the next 3 months so we may not (not) see him until then.

Ok cool.

I've looked at a couple of care guides unline but I am not sure on some of the information.
Like one said a 40 gallon tank was big enough for a full grown adult. That seams officially small to me.

Very small! The caresheets here in the Species Specific section are probably your best guides.

Hi to anyone still up and about hope you have all had a good day.
I won't be here for long as it's past midnight here now and I need my bed.
Lola has eaten today but still only a very small amount compared to his usual feast.
He was been quite active and alert after I got him up to have his Reptaboost soak this morning and my nephew said he was walking about when he called in Lola never drinks in his soak and I rarely catch him drinking from any of his bowls but I managed to get quite a bit of fluids with RB into him this evening by hand feeding him wet leaves.
I am wondering if he has a urinary tract infestation called Hexamitiasis which the vet wouldn't have tested for without a urine sample, but this can be very serious if not caught early.
Anyway tomorrow is the day for the results and I am very nervous about that, so wish us luck!
Goodnight everyone - sleep well.

Do we have a care guide for the Chinese box turtle? I have been looking but have not had luck finding it.

https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/box-turtle-care-sheet.93937/
This says box turtles have lots of similarities so should cover all, but maybe one of the keepers could tell you more.

Well I got my appointment to get scoped out by the doc. I'll be going the 15th for an upper GI, ileoscope, and rectal scope. The trifecta of fun lol.

Wish me luck.

Geez, Dan!! That’s a lot in one day!!
What is a ileoscope?
Who’s taking you? I hope you have support when you get home.

It's just like a colonoscopy but they go in though me stoma. My stoma is an ileostomy because the small intestine is all I got left.

My Nan is taking me again and as far as support. It's a 5 hour drive there and back so all I'll get to do is sleep when I get home and go-to work the next day. Lol

Just sharing my new snack obsession.
Avocado toast with feta or goat cheese drizzled with balsamic glaze. You can sprinkle sesame seeds if you wish. It’s so good!!

I’m not even sure if you get avocados across the pond. Some states here don’t get them but they grow great in California.

DE42 · May 9, 2018

Interesting. I may have to try it. Though I'll have to use white bread. The doc won't let me have the others now.

Think an 80gal tank would big enough for a 3" box turtle for a year?

Depends on the foot print dimensions. I have a 95 gallon that is very tall with a small foot print that would only be suitable for a hatchling. Great for fishies though
