Morning John, no snow for us - yet - but cold enough.
How are you today?
I'm OK thanks - don't know if I'm more upset by that response or by the fact that I may have upset someone
- not my intention at all.

You didn't have much sleep!

Are captive rats nocturnal or diurnal?
I've seen wild ones out in the day so maybe diurnal.

I read you can train them when to go to bed!

I know but I hate bad feeling even if it is thousands of miles away!!
And don't want them to leave for their tort's sake.

'You'll have square eyes my boy with all the telly!' as my old Mum would say!!
No plans as yet - if my sister's cooking lunch I expect she'll call me but its pouring down here!
(for a change!)

That's good, My young niece used to keep an indoor rabbit in her room and when I went to stay with them I had to 'sleep' in there with it, but this blinking rabbit used to drive me mad, with its scratching, gnawing and digging!
Never had any sleep when I was there, except maybe to dream of rabbit pie!!
Maybe a tactic so I didn't stay too long!!!!

Well not really I posted links to all the info and because I stated like natural shells I have been absolutely blasted.
have look at 'My new baby in intros. Was I being rude?

You were NOT rude. That lady was by far one of the rudest and most defensive people I've ever seen on the forum. I hate it when people go on and someone goes on to offer them advice and they don't like said advice. So instead of debating like a normal CALM person, they have to go and attack another person.

Hi Cameron I just PMed David about it as thought he was the only mod online.
I honestly didn't intend to offend the OP, but she's gone for the jugular.
Anyway better go and find some balls to deflate!!
Any offers boys???

You handled it well. What you did is all you can do.

How Guys! Chilly outside today! And sunny! Love it!!!!!
I saw the brew-ha-ha with the best nitro stuff and just want to say to @Lyn W: don't worry, Lyn!
We can't control other people's perceptions and feelings. Plus we are like mirrors to others.
The way people see us is often really reflection of how they see themselves.
That's one of the reasons why we really shouldn't take things personally though it's often very hard.
Dust will settle and things will g back to normal.
And...
I miss Adam's post! Hope he's doing ok.
And to Everyone: GOOD late morning!!!

Operation tortoise cart is completed.
Now I can swoop outside, get all six of them and swoop back inside for some needed inside heat.
Unfortunately the thing is almost 6 feet tall.
There are air vents drilled near the top and lots of newspaper and straw is inside.
Tomorrow night will be the first time I use it.

Been trying to and you pm about those grape seeds, but it won't go, my pm's go t other people. Do you think you may have something in your settings hat prevent me from sending you a pm?

 

[Momof4]

Well I am off to bed now. I am quite upset by the abuse hurled at me in the Intro thread.
- and she thought I was being rude!!
It's enough to put anyone off trying to help people!
So I will go and hang my head and try to sleep.
Night night all
See you tomorrow
Take care.

Lyn, you were not rude at all!!

I loved your post and I thought it was very informative for a new member!!

Thank you everyone for your words of support, it was pretty shocking to be on the receiving end of that and did upset me but maybe my own fault for expressing an opinion too soon. I am just sorry she has written the forum off because of my comments, and a shame for the tortoise. At least she had the links so maybe she will learn something from those. I was going to PM her but probably best to back off. Anyway, not pleasant, but no point in dwelling on it.

I hope you are all well today.
