I have been trying to post the below on the get a grip thread but it does not want to post. [emoji22] [emoji22] [emoji22] is it me or the thread that is not allowing me to post?
Since this a warning to newcomers about this forum and you obviously want newcomers to read your warning I will thank you very nicely for giving me the opportunity to use this thread as a testament of what this forum has done for me instead. Then the newcomers can read it all and make up their own minds on whether they want to follow the advice on this forum and keep healthy and thriving tortoises or to not follow the advise and have a tortoise who either only survives or gets sick and dies.
So here goes my story. Last year on the 31 May 2017 little Rue came into my life. I had absolutely no clue on how to look after Rue. I of course googled all sorts of websites with info etc. I kept Rue in a little table with sand and grass. I thought I had it sorted. But I had sand in my table a coil uvb bulb, small little waterbowl and obviously did NOT have it sorted. I then joined TFO and had people to discuss things with. People who I could ask questions and get answers from. Have a normal discussion with. Then little Kang, Clark and Harry all come into my life this year. And I have been raising them under the care advise from this forum. And let me tell you...the difference of how these three are doing and their growth rates compared to Rue (who was raised incorrectly for 6 months and was probably only surviving) is miles apart. I do not ever regret following the advise given here and will carry on doing so. Yes they may not be biologists or vets for that matter but they are caring people who most probably don't care about the owner of the tortoise but they do care about the tort. They are constantly learning in the school of life (a torts life). And Yvonne is one of the nicest people I have gotten to know on here. So by all means put your warning here but i hope that other people will take this opportunity to post some of their stories of how TFO helped them with the care of their tortoises. Making it possible for any newcomers to make up their own minds on whether they want to follow your advice or the advice from people who have the well being of my tortoises in their hearts.

Dam tried again but not working. Oh well. It took me a long time to type that out on my mobile. I use one finger typing as two causes even more typos than usual.[emoji23] [emoji23]
Ah shucks! (Yvonne holds her hands behind her back and scuffs her toe in the sand)
No, you can't post on the thread anymore. Someone (I think probably Jaizei) locked it. I wasn't online, or I would have locked it. Too bad everyone couldn't have stayed civil and not been rude. Your post above is an excellent rebut to an ugly post.
Yep, locked
I totally understand. When I'm on my Kindle (small screen and keyboard, yet bigger than your mobile!) I have to use a stylus or I can't hit the right keys at all.

That was the plan as no use on creating a new thread. Although I just might.
I think "meatball" is the one who needs to get a grip. Funny how we can go along for weeks or months, just sailing along contentedly and then all of a sudden we get a poop disturber like him come along and cause trouble. Not everyone agrees with everything said here, but at least they don't fight about their disagreeing. Does he really think that we're all going to say, "Oh my gosh, Meatball! You're so right!!! Why didn't I see it before you so smoothly enlightened us?"

That is hilarious. I am not sure what his intentions where. He does however manage to cause quite a stir.
I might just do that if he turns up again [emoji23]

Ya I was in the middle of asking what the name of their "expert" was when it got shutdown. I was gonna Google the name.
No idea Carol.
I noticed the crows were missing from my roof a couple of weeks ago, they have just disappeared.
Every year I think about evicting them and putting a guard on the pot but then they have chicks or I worry about where they would spend the winter so I've let them stay.
This is very strange - I miss my lodgers!
