    I have started my indoor growing ventures as well! I live in the south, so I still have time, but I wanted to make sure some of the things I wanted to try will work. I am digging up favorite weeds to grow under lights indoors, in hopes that I will be able to pick and feed. I have some under...

    A lot of times, close observation, common sense and that "gut feeling" are spot on!! I have learned to trust my gut feelings! My biggest question on this one would be if the digestive issues are primary or secondary, given all that she has been through.

    Tort not growing.

    @Turbotort Mine Leopard babies won't touch anything with calcium on it either, so when I soak their Mazuri pellets, I put liquid calcium in the soaking water. That way, the calcium is absorbed into the pellets.
