COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Final score 31-31. Fair result. Lots of tries and no penalties.

Everyone very relaxed and happy

It will be a different story next Friday for England v Scotland football in the same stadium. Fingers crossed it will be peaceful. We won't be at that.

Not so good for Wales. They lost 8-32 to Australia

Hopefully, they'll be united in wearing the poppy and things will be fine.
Sounds like you saw a great match.
Poor Lyn .

Hello! Oh I have some awesome news!
In January the day after my birthday I'll be going to a reptile expo
I can't wait to see all the tortoise booths maybe get a Sulcata from there. So far I saw four tortoise vendors there so fingers cross I see something unique and cool there.

Think carefully before buying at a reptile fair. They're more interested in selling and not necessarily the best started tortoises.

Whatever you do, get your enclosure fully set up and ready to run (with advice from here) before you buy the tortoise. It's a mistake to try and do it all in one go.

We're not talking about cats or humans, but Lyn's neighbours.

I imagine I'd be disarmed to some degree if they responded with a Welsh accent.
But then I'd be back on track after hearing Lyns.

If it's a 2 or 3 day event, go on day one and get there right as they open. Or on the last day as it is almost over.
The good deals go quickly at first and then again at the last moment when people are unloading stuff that didn't sell.

I know and thank you for telling me. I've been to a couple reptile expos already and know what to look for and everything before purchasing anything from someone. Also enclosure shouldn't be a problem
I already own a couple Sulcata's and love them! I'm already planning out a enclosure that will be built in December and I'm going to let grass and other plants that I'll plant grow in there for a month till anything set foot in it.

I always go early to be first in line
Usually you can buy VIP tickets but this reptile expo doesn't do it ;(
So I have to get there and grab my tickets quick before people show up.

How wonderful.
Should be great fun and very interesting.
See if you can take some photos.
And make sure your dealer is reputable and that the tortoises are heavy, bright eyed and active.

I think Lyn has a nice Welsh accent.
Neighbours a nasty rough one.

Knew you'd have it covered in advance!

Evening all.
A beautiful, bright and sunny day here but very cold,
and a crisp, clear night -j ust as it should be for Bonfire Night!
Lots of fireworks around and even I had a bonfire to get rid of some rubbish.
Shame about Wales; didn't see the match but sadly the best team won.
Great that the Barbars drew though.

Worried about Lola again

Good evening, Lyn, though I may have missed you.
Getting a little colder here too.
Had to put the heating on for Tidgy for the first time today.
Is Lola not eating again, or just being immobile ?
Hope he's okay and it's just a phase as the weather changes.

Hi Adam,
He didn't get up until about 12,30 but he's eating and moved about OK even try to barge me off his floor
but had strange urates in his soak today...pale pink - which could be from dandies or red foods.
However the first lot were a rubbery blob that sank and broke up when I tried to fish it out,
the second lot were in a clear skin. Saved both to take to vets.
Trying to find one open tomorrow but definitely going Monday
- it may be nothing but need to check.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I would get it checked too, in your position.
Tidgy had a pinish brown pee the other day, but I reckon it was the late season dandies I managed to find.
But the other stuff would worry me .
Good that he's eating and active though.
wifey sends love too, we worry.

 

[Lyn W]

Thank you Adam and Wifey,
Lola has had wees like that after dandies too or just before a poop.
So I think that's normalish and Tidgy should be fine.
I'll say goodnight now but will speak tomorrow sometime.
Love to all of you too,
Nos da.
