COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Whahaha. Lyn should play it for Lola.

I sing it to him everyday!

 

[Lyn W]

Anyhoo. I did not fall asleep until late last night and with the adjustment session am feeling quite nackered. So I will be saying Good night. Sleep tight and sweet dreams for now and not chat again in the morning.

Goodnight Carol hope you soon recover from the after effects of your session with the osteopath.

That's our song!
I sing it to him when he is in his soak and stroke his leg.
He either nods off or it makes him pass urates!
That's what he thinks of my voice!

What do you do ? Singing to make him pass urates ?
I would never think of that with my torts .....

I know, I know - my friends and family think I'm mad too!
It's just something he started to do when I sing his song.
I noticed that as soon as I start singing he positions his rear and out pop the urates!
It's a bit harsh but it's his way of telling me I have a rubbish voice!

 

[Bee62]

Right!! [emoji6]

Welcome to the club of suffering people....

 

[Lyn W]

I know he's been a little under the weather, so to speak, but Lola is one spoiled tortoise!

He certainly is, Yvonne.

 

[Bee62]

Lol, Carol, you sure know how to talk to Scorpios: Just smile and say yes

But when the "right" answer should be "No" you have a problem....

 

[Lyn W]

Sorry been gone a few days. I had another TIA. It feeling the best.

I'm at the hospital not for a Ultrasound of my leg. Looking for more blood clots.

Hope you are feeling better Dan and that they don't find any clots.

I WANT TO SEE THAT ! Can you please take a video of your singing and Lolas pooping ?

Sadly I don't have a video camera, but if I can borrow one I will.
Goodnight for now Sabine.

 

[Lyn W]

I will say Nos Da now
I have been watching the Springwatch Live cameras on TV in between posting
they are showing a river in night vision at the moment and it's very relaxing
so I think I'm just about ready to sleep.
Happy Friday to you all and take care.

Goodnight Lyn and sleep well. I think Lola loves you very much because you sing for him.

Well, I found a space for my new tort. I still need to add a few visual barriers but it’s coming along. It turned out to be 6x15ish.
Now, to get him home after 5-6 hours in the car.

It looks good what you have created for the new tort. Good luck and drive save. We are looking forward for pics.

Looks good, nice work. Get that tort and we will need lots of pix.

 

[Bambam1989]

I can't remember if I've said hi to everyone today(yeah its been that kinda day)
So hi everyone!
Have only skimmed the posts so I probably have missed alot of stuff.
I'm going to go over to the garden thread and post a few pics then take a nap[emoji16]

So....our Sully is at the 70 pound marker...or more. Is outside in his heated house eats grass, and everything else we feed him. And, have seen plenty of people feeding larger Sullys whole ears of corn. Never thought twice about the safety of corn for a tortoise.

The last week or so, corn on sale here for 20 cents/cob.

We started feeding our guy one or more per day. Loves the husks and corn...

But wait, the Tort Table says this!

• The plant from which we get Corn on the Cob is actually a grass. It is safe to feed the leaves to your tortoise, but you should not feed the vegetable itself (the ears or cobs of corn) as it is too high in phosphorous, protein, and sugars which can ferment in the tortoise's gut causing acidosis, a condition that can cause severe intestinal problems and possibly death).

Wow....who knew!

I guess only husks starting tomorrow. Anyone else feed whole corn on the cob..? @Lancecham

 

[CarolM]

I did. I'll get pics later it tomorrow. I went on in to work. I had left instructions on what to do with the package just in case I was not there but I was able to make it back before he came.

Yayy. Can't wait to see the pics and so happy for you. You have been waiting a long time for him/her.
How are you feeling?

It was a little thunderstorm. Before it began it was full sunny and warm. When the rain was over I took the torts back into their warm indoor enclosures.
When it is raining and cloudy it is to cold for the torts outside here too. Even my little Hermanns have to stay indoor then.
