Hi folks, thought I would give you a zippy update, she is doing well, actually grew too big for her house. haven't gotten the courage to clip her nails. she gets a worm or bug dipped in calcium plus a green daily. comes running when it is feeding time. just ordered some bed a beast for her. do turtles like a companion ? how can I be sure she is a she ? I went by no tail but have since learned that could be a sign of the calcium problem. thankyou for all of your help. carol and zippy
