I am shocked, but happy!

Well since rescuing George on the 3rd of October, he was 395g, and has always kinda hung around the 400g mark. Well I didn't weigh him long ago, but weighed him today, and he's 426g!!! He really has been pigging out on his weeds more lately, especially the past week, and will sit for about an hour a time munching. I am really pleased, as I was worried he wasn't putting any weight on really! Go George!

That's great news! Well done

Thank you, I feel a lot happier! Really looking forward to setting up his new 5 foot tortoise table too!

I've got one of those (well mine's 6' x 4'6") ... it's a book case without shelves!

Wow it sounds great! I've looked online, but they are all so expensive and small for my liking! He's in a 3 foot one at the mo, can't wait to give him some more space!

Ingredients:
Book case from shelfstore.co.uk - It comes as a flat pack and you order the bits you need... so just 2 shelves which make the top and bottom of the book case.

Pond liner - for an easy clean, no leak lining - shop around online for a cheap one. I got my mind from ponkeeper.co.uk

Substrate, lamps, heating of your choice.

Bricks 59p each from Homebase if you have a mountaineer like I do!

Yea! Sounds like he is doing great! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, your set up is nice and big, but we already have a cabinet where our Marine tank used to be, so we've got to kinda make it to fit on that in out living room!

I think that's the problem everyone has - too much tortoise space needed, not enough house!

 

[*Amber*]

That is definitely true! I'd love to give him a whole room!
