Today, she ate on her own. I bought her a little bit of every green I know she can eat. I saw that the greens were a lil messy around the dish. I thought she might have just walked through them. So I picked her up and saw the green all around her beak. I grabbed a green a put it infront of her...

One of the vet techs at the veterinarians office asked about adopting her. I love her, but between work, school and my Labrador who is acting like hes been replaced.. I think the vet tech would give her a home she would be the center of attention in. And direct veterinarian care if needed.

Ive also been using hand warmers in socks. I have her temp and basking area right, but did the hand warmers in socks to snuggle into a nice warm spot as well.

Since this has started I have had her on towels. Just in case. She does move around quite a bit in her soaks. I use my bathtub and put a towel on the bottom so she has something to grip. She drinks the water too.

Oh, shes warm. She active, especially compared to last week. How does the aloe come? And forgive me, as this is the first Tortoise I've had to hand feed.

I work at a pet store, and approximately 2 weeks ago a Russian Tortoise was returned because she wasn't eating. Her eyes were a bit sunken in as well. Not to mention she felt like a feather. On Tuesday of last week we took her to the vet. Her weight was 204 grams at the vet. The vet also took...
