Daughter is out doing voluntary work with dormice today. They’re in torpor - sort of semi hibernation. The second one was curled up in an old bird’s nest.
This is cute ! An innocent little animal sleeping.
Thanks..it’s hard to take a bad snapshot when the trees are blooming and surrounded by monuments.
My sheep. She is high pregnant. I am waiting for the birth of lamb ( s ) every day.

I hope your sheep has her lambs SOON- she surely must be uncomfortable!
Your chickens are gorgeous! I love the feathers on their feet!!!!
Your cat is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
It looks like a lovely neighborhood! Are your neighbors nice people?
All your photos are lovely Sabine. It looks like a beautiful spring day.
It’s been grey all day here, not cold, just no sunshine. Still, we had sunshine the last two days
Yesterday, when I took Jacques to the specialty vet, I brought Elsa too, for her first appointment and wellness check.
I was expecting lots of poop, so I put layers and layers of newspaper in a big plastic tub to take her there. I'm SO GLAD I did!!
She pooped on the way there, so the tech used that sample to check for parasites. (NO parasites!!! YAY!!!) She pooped again while we were waiting for the doctor, and I rolled up that paper and gave it to them to throw awayeek: LAWDY, tortoise poop STINKS!!!! ). She pooped AGAIN as the doc was examining her; and the doc held her over the sink and ran warm water on her booty to stimulate her to finish pooping.
The doc examined Elsa and thought she looked really healthy and good! She was especially complimentary about Elsa's CARAPACE and said it looked really great! I attribute that to what I have learned on this forum!!!!
It was also interesting that the vet said they never see Hermann's tortoises! They see a lot of Russians, Greeks and Sulcatas but not Hermann's. When I told my hubby, he observed that those are the species sold most often in the pet stores!!! Makes sense!
I was dreading the 45 minute drive home, expecting to smell tortoise poop the whole way, but Elsa must have emptied her gut pretty well, because there was no more poop!

Well done Bea
I don’t mind the smell of tort poop. It always smells like horse manure to me... not a bad smell. There does seem to be a huge amount that comes out during car journeys though. Joe always obliged with copious volumes on the half hour drive to our vet!
Having seen how much bigger Joe was than Elsa, I don't even want toWell done Bea

Sooo cute!
Aw, we’ll have to visit you to cuddle the lamb!

Well done, Elsa! There’s nothing we like more on the forum than a healthy poop!
