Hi, Roomies. Jacques has stopped eating and only wants to bask under her heat lamp. I’m very worried about her. There’s at least a possibility that I have caused her to have a Vitamin B deficiency (which makes them lose their appetite among other things) because the catfish that I gave her as the primary staple in her diet, contains an enzyme that destroys vitamin B. The other possibility, of course, is that she slowly developed an aspiration pneumonia after her near drowning in December.
I know we all make mistakes, but I just feel so bad. [emoji20] If I lose her, I WILL get another turtle, but I SO don’t want to lose my silly little diva. [emoji22]

:( Get well soon Jacques

I just found this picture from last year’s trade show week. Tower Bridge lit up and closing after a ship went through

@Kristoff Lena, central London is very small and it’s near impossible to go anywhere without seeing something. Your husband has no excuses unless he’s living and working in the same building which happens to have a direct entrance into the underground system :D

Oh Bea. :( I have no idea about turtles, and just hope she’s back to her silly, gluttonous self soon.
I notice that you keep blaming yourself — “I have caused” etc. But there’s no one who does everything right, and we all know you try your best to keep her happy and healthy. Please don’t feel bad. :<3:

Thanks so much for your kind support!!! [emoji2][emoji173]️[emoji2][emoji173]️[emoji2][emoji173]️

Hi Bea, I don`t think that Jaques develop a pneumonia. The accident is too long ago. Can you offer her food with Vitamin B ? Does she eat minced cow meat ? Or do you have some mineral/vitamin powder that you can give on her food ?
I have a vitamin supply that I can put in the drinking water of my torts.

You don`t lose Jaques, I am sure. Maybe she only needs a break in eating with all the fine things she gets from you. Don`t feel bad, you are the best Jaques mommy in the world !

Garlic and onion. Must try that one. Although people would have to stay away because my breath will stink.
When you are sick people also stay away.... having fear to get your cold or flu...
Try this, it is an old house recipe or traditional recipe from the time when people have no doctors or pharmacy where they can go to and order medicine.
