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:)
Shelly will be ok waiting bless her she will love her perfect home once she is in :)

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

Br-r-r-r it's cold in here. We're in that kind of weather that's too cold to live in but the sun is shining so you hate to waste the wood to build a fire in the woodstove because it will warm up in a couple hours. In the meantime, my fingers are so cold I can hardly type.

I head up your way quite frequently; My Mum is in Buxton... I try to avoid going via Derby despite the satnav's love of it :D

Sorry to hear about your tort's eyes. Is there any chance that temps dropped below freezing? I have heard anecdotal evidence of it causing eye issues. Hopefully you have a tort experienced vet.

I monitored Temps all weekend and never got near to freezing. Have specialist reptile vet (supposedly) so hopefully knows what he is doing! Have to trust hubby to take her and give all the correct information as too hard for me to get out of work. Appointment tomorrow so fingers crossed. Yes Derby ring road is best avoided unless you know it well!
