[Brittany6]

You all are sooooo awesome!!!! I could hug you all!! Thanks for all the help!!! It's amazing how attached I am. I said I always wanted a tortoise but having my kids and family was always first. Then I get this shocking girl for Christmas and I fell sooo in love with her! I did all much research and already know what enclosures I will build for her she grows and found her the cutest shed for when she's big! Imagining the kids coming home from dates and seeing Genevieve in the yard and how cool that will be scaring off the boys with our "killer" Tortoise haha and perhaps having a sulcata farm someday! I just love her and am so thankful to all of you for all your insight so that I may do right by my little girl and give her everything she needs!! Thanks again!!

And FYI her eyes are opening even more often and she ate a little more today! Very little but it was something and she's a lot more active. I think she enjoys walking in the baby food mixes and I LOVE THE WAY SHE SMELLS
Her head bobs around. Do your do that when they smell? She reminds me of a puppy! Haha

What do u think u did that helped her the most ? I'm just curious its awesome to know she is getting better I wonder what helped her the most ... U did so much to help her so its probably hard to answer

Ahhhh
I'll just
Post a new three with her picture. It doesn't seem to be letting me add it on here :-( I don't know what really helped her the most. I think the meds the dr gave me may have helped... Ido think the baby food in the soak was brilliant and I added the calcium to it as well and I think she drank a little and I hope absorbed some! I think that probably helped the most. The vet said the meds were mostly
To prevent infection but that she didn't have one that she knew of. I honestly think she was the runt. She was the smallest and I think another baby bit her shell and pulled off a leg scale and she was sooo small she was sickly from the start. That's just my newbie opinion ;-) I think a lot of rest helped too but if she didn't drink that baby food mix water, I don't think she would be as she is. Her shells still
Soft, she has a ways to go but
She seems
Like she's on the up swing

 

[TortandHare]

I am so happy for you...been rooting for the little one for days!
