Hiya Everyone ~
This isn't about food or diet, but since I did not see a tab marked medical, I figure I'll put this posting here..?
Anyways, Snortie Tortie looked as tho she were getting a cold (not sure if our weeks of crap weather had anything to do with such or not), and since I was...
Not sure if I can actually make the images appear here or not, but am gonna do my bestest: it's really looking lush, and my tort's LOVE to be outside. Of course, I still do not just leave them there alone (fear of crows and hawk's carrying off with one of my babes is my primary reason) but hang...
I stole a beardie from the school where my church meets on Sundays, and when you go to this link: http://www.pbase.com/purpod/rescue, you'll see why. And this was in a school!!
He is so emaciated, it's very difficult to look at him/her. I truly thought it was dead when I came across it...
Greetings & Salutations to All!! :P
The ending of last year was extremely hectic for this purpod peep, but life is calming down now ~ {Note all of what was going on and how close all of the dates are ~ you can imagine that now, most of my purpod hairs have been yanked out of my head, LOL}...
Originally, I only allowed for one quarter of the space availasble for my lil' leppie, but now that I have a baby too, I've doubled the original space to include a 'side 2'.
The original playarea can be seen here: http://www.pbase.com/purpod/image/97845692
The updated {and more grown in}...
Hey peeps, you will NOT believe this one; it reminds me of the jerk on utube who was cruelly telling his tortie to "roll over", only this is much worse! I will be checking into the trust fund, should anyone else care to contribute, just lemme know and I'll send on the information...
With the Rep Show just a day away, I'm kinda surprised there's not more excitement about it here in our postings ~ I dunno about the rest of the peeps here, but I am very jazzed that Sat. is just around the corner ~ Oh Yeah; time to go play!! LOL.
Hope to see lots of ya'll there at noon on...
Greetings everyone ~
There was a posting in which I had suggested Vitashell as a way to strengthen what appeared to be a shell issue, and was met with some who felt that such a product was dangerous as the waxes in the Vitashell could produce problems.
I sent the following to Tetra, the...
I caught King Tortie on the outside of his enclosure, and so after putting him back in, I watched to see how he was escaping ~ and this is what I found:
Hmmmm...
I think I can, I think I can
I'm on the top of the world
Oh Yeah...
FREEDOM!!
Obviously, I have corrected the...
Greetings fellow tortie lovers ~
Please see this link: http://www.pbase.com/purpod/cacti for a sneak peek at an outdoor enclosure in the makings and also several images of various succulants, which hopefully, are going to be edible and make this area much nicer!
Once the seeds get here...
Greetings All ~
I just read a posting about how large a one year old tortie should be, and altho a pic was shown in the reply, no actual measurements were given... can anyone give an approximation as to size for the first year & perhaps the second year?
In addition, would it be possible...
Greetings to all from So. Cal.
Altho I have other critters too, my african is my baby ~ It took me a bit to save up for him, but he's worth every cent! An adorable lil' guy, he's only about a year or so old {was unclear as to his age when he was purchased, but he was very small, perhaps a...
Greetings All ~ my tortie has decided to go on a hunger strike, and it's driving me nuts! I put in fresh greens {such as a spring mix, but with additional greens such as beet leaves, raddish leaves, kale, parsley, etc..} and he barely eats.
I have also tried the processed food by Nature...
