He was a house roaming Great Dane. When we had a house roaming tortoise, he just made poop messes.
Oh, I thought the tortoise picture was your tortoise making his own doggy door through the wall. I agree with the great big liquid and poopy messes too. Big tortoise you need a flat sided bucket. My little Russian tried to dig his way outside through a corner of our home. I figured out...ok free roaming house tortoise doesn't work.

Select the post and then go to More> Web View

I have to do it for pretty much every picture I want to see. It’s a pain, but like I said I won’t complain in case the app gets removed completely.
If you think this is due to the new ad company Josh is trying out (and it's awfully coincidental the two problems coming up at the same time), then the more we let Josh know the adverse affects his ads are causing, the sooner he will see and try to correct the problem.

Has anyone had problems with uploading pictures. It has been about 2 weeks for me now. I select the pic, click on upload and then nothing happens.
I'm still having problems with ads covering up when I'm typing. Also, something takes over my phone and will erase the first letter of a word. It's strange. I can't upload from my smart phone. I have to send it to my email, then download, then refuse a couple of things and then it will upload. I don't even know how figured it out.

That picture is one that’s wheeled out every time some newbie is adamant their Sulcata will be fine kept indoors every winter as an adult. It’s brilliant because it illustrates the determined destructive nature of the species. If a sully wants to go somewhere, it takes a lot to stop it... and the best route is in a straight line whether there are obstructions or not! :D

I think it’s more likely to be down to the change of host than the advertising change. And Josh made it very plain I was to butt out with my opinions which is why I stayed off the forum and out of the way for a while after the app problems last time round. I don’t want to aggravate him again.

I’ll settle for having an app that mostly works rather than risk having it taken away because I upset the applecart.

Lol... I think I’m still going to have to put some “speed bumps” on the ramp... he still hasn’t went up and in on his own yet. It will be a big weight off my mind if he ever figures that part out!!!
I don't know if something I did for my first house rabbit would work for your tortoise or not. I used stairway treads (for safety) with glue backing. The top surface was kind of like really heavy grade sand paper but even heavier yet not as course as sand paper... They are flat and you can cut them to fit. It only costed me a few dollars. It was fun for our new kitten and baby bunny to run across.

Same with little cute Russians.

Me too. But I don't even know if I'm on an app. It might be just a shortcut.

. I think it is... I know I have also seen other member with outdoor sullies in cold climates. It appears that they have an outdoor yard with a heated building accessible at all times. There is one particular picture I remover seeing with a giant Sully playing in the snow.

I looked at all her post she seems to only have leopards, or she never posted about her sully, maybe I’ll pm her. She seems to be doing great as long as the torts have a place to warm up. Chicago isn’t so far away from me...

Good mornooning, roommates! I'm on standby for some urgent freelance work that may or may not come today. Might still venture out to visit my favorite charity shops.

Wishing everyone a Terrific Tuesday!
We call them thrift shops. I find cute toys for my house rabbit and other stuff cheap cheap.

Are you using a computer or laptop? Or are you using a tablet/iPad or your smart phone?

The app is on the smart phones and tablet/iPad and has picture problems.

On computers and laptops, you just use your web browser and that has the advert problem

Ah, maybe it is Leopard Torts. Care is broadly the same for the two species. Barb is really friendly anyway. I am sure she’ll chat with you :)

I’ll zip it then. I’ll tough it out.

I like Yves Rocher. They send gifts with every purchase. :D But I never bought it in Turkey -- it's a luxury-priced brand because of the VAT. Or in Denmark, for the same reason! :eek:
It is expensive if you pay full price. I shop mail order and devide the price by the amount of items on special. I don't know if that's available to you. It's way cheap cheap er. All my girl friends love my presents. I usually only pay between 3 and 7 dollars per item. Then put together a bag of goodies for a gift. I don't have a lot of money but it works for me.
I thought I’d post a few flashback postcards.

One year ago today, JoesDad and I were in Wiltshire. This area is probably most famous for Stonehenge the ancient stone circle.

We visited its cousin at Avebury. The stones aren’t as big, but it is huge and covers a very large area. This is just a bit of it

We stayed at a very old pub in a village called Norton St Philip

I love your daughter and I haven't even met her.
