COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Oh wow! I imagine you are so happy to see him, he looks so like my old tortoise, same size and weight! What sort of tortoise is he?

He is a Greek - Testudo graeca graeca

He is a Greek - Testudo graeca graeca

Yes that's what I thought mine was, although never had at confirmed. She never saw a vet in 50 years!

Good morning all.

Good tort news everywhere ! Yaaahhhyyyyyyyy !

Joe woke up of hibernation and looks good.
And Ed`s egg let us wait. I think the little baby tort is a female. She needs time to get beautiful before hatching.

Have a nice day, roommies. You and your torts !

First peak

He weighs 3.290kg - he's lost 60g during hibernation which is less than 1% of his bodyweight over 4 months.

Good morning rooomies hope we all well lovely sunny day here today

 

[Bee62]

Good morning Laura.
Here it is sunny too! 12 Grad C.
Spring is lurking round the corner.
But night temps are still to low.
Yesterday I searched for dandelions in my garden and found some, but they are still too small.
They need higher night and day temps to grow. My torts have to be patient....

Hi Ed.
Are there news of your tortie egg ?

Sounds pretty similar to here although if you get a sunny spot it's actually warm.
I found a big clump of dandelions with flowers this morning so Nelly is happily tucking in

Joe has been admitted. He is still with us. They're doing bloods.

Thoughts, prayers and good vibes needed.

Fortunately I have one of the best tort vets around.
