COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Aww that's rubbish. I make the assumption that if where I am is sunny then the rest on the UK will be sunnier!
It depends with beastie I think he's been climatised in a weird way. He thinks that if it's over 25 then he will sit in the shade and look around. Whereas if it's under 25 he goes mental and just walks around for hours until I bring him back in!

I think Lola just likes the security of his room, I have to hide when I check on him cos as soon as he sees me he wants in. If I put my hands down he will come and stand between them and wait for lift off. Don't know why I'm bothering to improve his outside enclosure!

I used to be in my west country days, but can't get any form of cider here.

Now that I would like to have seen - you as a scrumpy gal!

Aw that's so cute beastie only chases me when he thinks I have food lol.
Maybe when her enclosure outside is done she will feed more secure? Does she have many hides in her current outdoor enclosure?

Yes a couple and under plants but he doesn't spend much time in them.
Re the strawberry - I think once in a while is fine I don't know anything about the protein in them but if you check TTT I'm assuming it will say OK in moderation.

Can I ask you guys a tort related question?
Is it ok to feed Mediterranean torts a small strawberry once a week?
Reason I ask is I actually do that and was advised by someone on this forum that that's the best way to give your tort the small doze of protein they require. Then I read on another post you shouldn't do that at all and I'm now terrified that I've been giving my baby beast stuff that's not good for him! I've tried soo hard as well to make sure that he has an amazing diet

Mediterranean species don't need fruit at all.
It isn't good for them, but one small strawberry a week is not going to do any harm.
Beastie will get all the protein he needs from a balanced diet.
Tortoises don't need treats.
Having said that, I do give Tidgy naughty treats occasionally because she likes them so much.
It's like chocolate. No good reason to give it to kids other than that they love it.

And the next day, skinny lobster coloured bodies abound.

I gave Lola a slither of tomato today which is a very rare treat for him and he almost took my hand off! Then he went around sniffing the air for all he was worth trying to find more.

I have to go and return my sister's dog now - and they are treating me to an Indian meal tonight as a thank you so I don't have to slave over a hot microwave again.

I will see you all anon.
Bye for Now!

Wow that's a fancy fountain - thought you were in Red Square there for a minute
I love the walruses (walrii) walrus x4

fountain gardens, paisley. not really worth a google but bit of history behind it lol

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sorry I know that it's unrelated to the usual cold dark room banter! It's just that I trust everyone on this thread and don't think you would judge if I've messed it up!

Course not.

Speaking of which, good thoughts from The Cold Dark Room going out to our friends Cowboy Ken and Ed Zeropilot.
May they both return to us soon.
