What you having lessons on John?

driving lessons. i can drive, just not legally

how are we today ma'am?

 

[johnandjade]

I'm fine thanks

JoesGranny is doing really well. She is so much better than she was. We just have to hope she doesn't get a relapse of the balance problems.

I hope the driving lesson goes well

It will make a huge difference when you pass your test (not if - you will pass!)

great to hear

Hello to a CDR newbie

I'm Linda and I live in Kent. We've had our tort Joe since 1970. He's currently hibernating in a fridge

Hi Linda, I'm Jane and in Derby. My old tort died a couple of years back and I had had her from about 1970 too! I found my way on here as really worried about my current tort, Nelly, who emerged from hibernation with very poorly eyes. I have been bathing and soaking her and using drops from vet but no improvement. She still can't open them and hence isn't eating either. Have another vets appt tomorrow but am so worried for her. She just looks so sad

Hi Jane,

my name is Sabine and I live in Germany.
I own 3 sulcata baby tortoises and 2 Redfoot tortoises. But when I was a child I own 2 Greek tortoises. So I have experience with this specie too.
How warm is it in the enclosure of your Nelly now ?

Oh well I suppose being able to drive illegally is a good start! I'm good thanks apart from worrying about the tortoise..

Temps are all good, she is nice and warm and appears very active. It's just the eyes that are the problem and I presume she isn't eating as can't see food, I have tried giving her food with a strong smell to help her our.

Nice to meet you

Hi Jane,

have you tried to handfeed your tort ? If she could smell the food and tries to take a bit, you can hold it so that she could eat.
I would soak her twice a day for 30 minutes in warm water.

Nice to meet you too.

Morning all
Still waiting on the parts. Of course the hole I drilled for the cords was too small, so back to the store for another tool. Miss Shelly and sisters have to wait another day

Yes have been soaking her twice a day, tried putting baby carrot puree in water too. Also tried hand feeding all her favourite things but no joy. I even managed to find a few very early emerging dandelions to tempt her..

That's why you've got to start 'traveling'.

Good morning Noel,

nobody is perfect.
Torts have a lot of time to wait .....
I am sure that Miss Shelly will be happy if her new castle is perfect on her "moving day".
In Germany it is said: Good things must have time to be finished.

Hi John,

I have the driving licence since my 18th birthday and I am very proud that I never had an accident that I have caused.
I have had 3 accidents, but always it was not my fault.
I love var driving.
