i also see it on instagram alot, only have a couple of people I know through here on it and the rest i dont.. see rabbit pellets alot, i was very poilte and suggested changes and recommend looking on here,

...no joy, still see the pellets

The thing is... The girl who I used to work with is a 'pet hoarder' she has 2 cats, a dog, tortoise and 3 horses or something which is a lot! She always talks about them and I dunno- just made me think she was really good with animals and I now see they are neglected!
I'll wait and see what she says back - probably tell me to mind my own business

Hello Kirsty. Just sent you a PM.

We're fine, thanks, though Oli still did not used to his new diet...it is going to take time and so much patience; that I am running out of. How are you and how's your new place? Sincerely hope all is well and that you've settled down.

It'll take a while for him to adapt have you tried waving any of it a few inches away from him? Beastie usually gets really curious and comes over for a sniff and a bite!
I'm living in a construction site Gillian - I hate it so much and beastie is really unsettled and it barely eating, drinking or evening basking. He's sitting in his hide ALL DAY! I don't usually like to disturb him but I keep bringing him out and putting him under his light. Then after 2 minutes he walks back to his hide again! Arghhh!!

it's tricky isn't it

. all you can really do is advise in the nicest way i guess. I thought of a trick though, ask lots of questions about the tort, say you are thinking of getting on and are interested... hopefully you'll get, 'I was thinking of getting rid of mine'

or lyn can supply balaclavas!

Yeah I think we will need to invite Lyn to Scotland for the weekend! We can do the rounds and see all the Scottish tortoise owners lol! Plus get a wee drink or two- let her see what buckfast takes like (I'm not having any though

)

im no stranger to the stuff. now how do we explain buckfast?! ...

it's common names: commotion lotion, Glasgow table wine, wreck the'hoose' juice ... it does have a nasty effect on alot of people though

Oh yes I have. But it didn't work. I have had to stuff some of into Oli's mouth while he's eating lettuce; at least till he gets used to it.

So sorry to hear that you hate your new place; and that Beastie is unsettled.I wonder why? Or could it be the fact that torts need time to adapt to new places? Hope to hear better news soon.

"Splat"
Ow!
Throws Spiny Norman the Hedgehog at Noel.
Glad you've finished for the day.
Have a nice evening.

Gives me an idea for a new game - hedgehog bowling - not that we'd be able to see to play it but could adapt it I suppose.

It's just because I've taken him out of his territory and the surroundings are unfamiliar. Also Lyn mentioned that the smell would be different too. Like Oli he will take a while to adjust, I just done have much patience lol
