Thanks Angie, good to know it's not just her. It's funny when she does a little dance!! X

Tom, She's had the new set up for a week now. She still won't eat 😔, but she is drinking A LOT and she has had an enormous poo (I know she shouldn't have had this in her for brumation), so im very grateful she is actually alive from the winter with that in her. She's, for the 1st time I've ever...

Thank you Sarah. I love the idea of her shell outline!

Thanks Angie, I'll do that in her morning soak! 🙏

Thanks Tom. I change the water. Constantly. It actually is her water bowl, doubling up. Like a big clipit style box? I didn't go bigger because I didn't think I could go that deep (I just cover her bottom shell). She's so lethargic that she just droops her head in the water and I didn't want...

Oh, and my 75 watt mixed bulb is only getting to 33, so I went 100 watt

Hi Tom, here is her drinking, nose squirt and gulping. I'm sending a pic of her eyes too as they are a concern for me too. I think I'm just spiraling with her. As always, tips and advice welcome 😀

Thanks Tom, I shall get the 75 and see what heat it gives us. I've got this other light at the moment which I've kept on to keep her warm.... Once I have the right stuff (should arrive Monday), what is the time frame I'm looking at before she perks up and I need to take her to the vet? I read...

Okay... Arcadia floodlight 75 watt? Pro T5 in the basket.... I'll order the orchid stuff now too. Should that be all over the floor outside? Or should I do other textures. You see some amazing things online, but as you point out many times, it's not always best for them. With regards to the...

Thank you for your MUCH more detailed reply than I have before had. I read that page after I posted and discovered it to be very different to anything I read when I first got her. I dutifully re-read it so here goes: I shall get new substrate as we had high grade top soil (which is a sand mix)...

Thank you for being honest, I appreciate it 🙏 23 is still a fairly seasoned tort mumma! We were near Salcome so not far if you are south too! No we were very lucky with the weather 😀

Thank you Angie 😊 I hope so, I've been worried about posting. ooo I've just returned from Devon to Berkshire!

Hi. I am having issue and worried about my horsefield. I got her 2 years ago cc 5 years old from someone who sent her to me with an led lightbulb and the smallest coffee table sized wooden box. That first few months we got the right bulb and substrate etc and kept her inside. She lived under the...
