O! Thank you for being so sensitive!! :<3:
I do not take offense at all!
I completely understand how tough it can be to see all that is posted before replying.
I have done it many times!!
Thank you all so much.
I knew you would all understand our pain.
We miss Vernie-Kins so much but his siblings are still with us THANKFULLY!!
So we are even more focused on their happiness and health. That is how we will honor Vernie the best.:<3:
@maggie3fan thank you so much for sharing the...
My husband and I found an artist at a local art fair over summer.. He does all sorts of different things but we were (and always are) in search of Tortoise art.. He had a few to choose from. The others were a little more twisted than this one. lol.. It isn't MY typical taste but it reminds me of...
I wish the oils could be beneficial for torts..
Sadly, Last night our baby Vernie passed away.:(:(:(
I posted a little tribute to him in the Hermann's Tort section.
Thanks a lot @Gillian Moore, I really appreciate it!
I'm going to try to refrain, only because I have been a puddle all day and all I will do is cry all over you. lol
I am Sure you understand my pain and I will just know that I am not alone in my sadness.
:<3::<3:
I just have to figure out how...
You sound just like my husband. lol
To me, the proof is in the pudding. I don't know if I believe ALL that I see on the oils but what I have seen makes me want to give it a shot.
If it works for me, my hubby is in whether he likes it or not. lol (as I am sure you are with your girlfriend, haha)
Today we have very heavy, tear filled hearts..
Last night our smallest Hermann's Tort Vernie passed away.
He started acting very weird and not like himself at all. He was scaring us pretty badly and we could see his pain in how he was moving..
Took him to a vet, got some medicine for him hoping...
There is actually a facebook page, if anyone is interested, now that I raised the question. lol
It isn't scientific but very informative by a person that uses the oils on reptiles and amphibs, too.

Yea, in that case I just googled it really fast to show the benefits.
I will see what google has to say about them with torts but I just assumed that the info would be nearly nonexistent..
I found this info specifically on Wild Orange;
Primary Benefits
Powerful cleanser and purifying agent
Protects against seasonal and environmental threats
High in antioxidants, which are essential to overall health
Uplifting to the mind and body
Emotional Benefits
Energetically, wild orange...
eww!! I have never heard anything like that before. I will be looking to it, though.. eww again.. haha
Well, it isn't just Vitamin C, it is different Essential Oils for a score of different things.
There is one that I want to use, also, to help the immune system during times of cold/flu.
There...
Thanks @JoesMum!
I just had to check if there was any "direct" knowledge on this topic.
Do you think if I were to have it in another room (a couple of rooms away from them) so it wasn't directly by them, that would be sufficient?
If I gave it a try, how would I know if they didn't like it or it...
All is well here @Gillian Moore! Thank you!
How have you been??
Our "guys" are getting so big!!! Well, Oggi (is gigantic!!) and Roaman is big and Vernie is still small but we are working on him =D
Much more active these days, woohoo!! =)
Hi all!
I wasn't quite sure where to post this question, I thought it might be kind of tricky so this board seemed right. :)
I am going to begin using essential oils in my home.
I am wondering if diffusing oils can hurt our little guys..
I know that is probably a broad question and I am not...
