He usually displays his wares in the spring.
Maybe he is just realising that something's missing and that he needs a mate.:)
No real change appetite wise - mainly eaten from hand fed but also feeding himself some - about the same amount.
He took his meds with the help of some sliced strawberry and slivers of cucumber like a good boy. Only one more dose to go on Thurs.
Are you going to try another scan on Thursday?

I haven't got an appointment yet,I may try different vets or ask for a CT or MRI which although they may still need his legs out will be less intrusive.
I can't see how the vet will manage an ultrasound if she couldn't do it last week.
I am worried about him being put through the mill again.

That is what I was thinking. But I don't know enough about torts. Thought I would ask though. Can tortoises become depressed?
I don't know Carol, I suppose his instinct is telling him it's time to mate. He usually gets over the flashing after a while.
I have read somewhere about torts who pace a lot and even stop eating because they want to find a mate but I wouldn't say he does that.
Most days Lola stays in his hide until I get him out for his bath so it's not as though he's out looking as soon as it's light.
I will do a search and see if there are any threads.

Sorry I've been missing everyone. I've been sick all day. Had a horrible migraine and vomiting. I've mainly spent the full day in bed.
Sorry to hear that Dan, not the start to the holiday we'd hoped for you.:(
Maybe you should see a doc after your recent episode to check the new meds they've given you for the clot- just to be on the safe side.
I'm just about to sign out but I hope you are feeling better soon so you can begin to enjoy your holiday.
