So these photos were taken last march and then this march as a years growth comparison. I definitely feel that due to the amazing summer we had last year he really put on some beef. Also thanks to advice from this forum in diet instructions, I was able to grow my own hedge mustard, plantain...
Weathers good enough to let my little guy outside today!! He is loving it. Also gave me a chance to plant some romain lettuce seeds, white clover and dandelions!
Well on the 4/3/2013 I took the top two photos of my awesome little guy, tonight 9/3/2014 I tried to take the same photos for comparison. He has put on a decent size I reckon!
Thought I would make a quick thread ob some of the fish I have the now-
Nicaraguan cichlid
Very placid banjo catfish
Synodontis ........... Forgot the second part
Tank 1
Tank 2
Well I have been missing in action for quite a few months now. Got caught up with University and life in General. Wizzle is still thriving though! So it was bathtime tonight.
This was before
During bath time
And the end product haha
After months of buying seeds, sowing them and hoping they will grow I finally have something to show for it! I also have the main garden section sealed off so wizzle now has the full area as an outdoor enclosure!
this is his area, not bad size for a 3inch tort haha
And some plants and weeds I...
I just spent last week in Amsterdam, I think a few members here will have seen some of the pics on Instagram. We went to a massive museum called the Rijksmuseum, it was closed for a decade to renovate! Anyway, me and my Girlfriend decided we had to pick a favourite object, this had to be mine...
So I am posting this in the general section as there will be some questions not relating to enclosures.
I keep my tort at my Grans and she has given me the green light to use a large portion of her back garden for an outdoor enclosure.
So here it is
I paced it out, me assuming my pace is...
Yeah so Wizzle didn't want a soak tonight ...
But then once he was in, he did some major chillaxin
Then he was like, hell yeah I look good
And he shouted, hey everybody, come see how good I look!!

So here is my outdoor enclosure, its 2.4m x 1.2m
It so far has 1 hide, water dish, 1 nice big bit of slate. My hermanns can only get out for an hour at a time unless it is really warm. I will probably never be able to leave my little guy outside overnight without building a heated enclosure...
I have kinda went overboard ob trying to grow my own plants and weeds, everyday I get more seeds in the mail!
Here is what I have out the backdoor at the moment,
My chickweed has started to grow, which I am very pleased with
However all these came through the post the other day

So over the next month or two I hope to knock together a tort table/enclosure. It will take some time since I am on a placement year with between 2nd and 3rd year University.
My tortoise is an Eastern Hermanns tortoise aged 2.5-3 years old, his previous owner didnt care for him, so I think he...

Hoping to grow some plants to vary my Hermanns diet a bit. Is this a good start? Got them for £0.99 each and I have a mixed bag of 1500 seeds on the way aswell.
