Hi all, I know there’ve been quite a few posts on here about this but no res consensus on best management. Weather is getting warmer near me so I let Tonks wander outside a bit and she wandered into some pokey bushes and now has a little cut on her nose. A few posts say to just leave it and...

Hi all! I’ve learned so much through this forum and I’m so so thankful! After having Tonks for about a year and a half, we’ve thought about what we’ve been able to provide for her and what we feel we can provide going forward. We love her so much and have really cared for her as best as we...
