Hi Alison...nice to see you back on SW. I was wondering a few things.. How big are they? What species? Are they from the same breeder (and batch , as in tort family tree), and how are they housed at the moment? This probably would get better coverage in the housing section, as that's where there are pictures of set ups and general questions on indoor/outdoor enclosures. xx
PS - I am so sorry you lost Jimmy...may I ask what was the cause? xx

Hi there ,, well there both spur thighed from the same breeder , he's on here nutrials , ( sorry not sure off spelling) , there in a table the now if you go on my page there is some photos , a have bought lots off plants a few months back for outside got the info off the "tortoise table page " and have lots off seeds planted the now from shelled warriors , mainly really is the wee indoor bit well have for them heating and stuff during the night and so on !!! Jimmy died off a lower r infection but wee had him three years wee got him brought up from England but from the start he was never right had him at the vets a lot at one point he was anerixic and always blamed myself as first tort always thought we done something wrong but after getting these two we've done everything the same and there sturdy healthy and very active something wee jimmy never was !!

I'm sorry to hear about that Alison. Nuturalis (Chris)is an excellent breeder and I'm sure he and others can guide you to get your set up right. I can only advise with an indoor table set up (if that helps if you need this). I'm sure you'll get things right this time round and they sound very lovely torts. Post some pics up of them both in the pictures section, I would love to see them...as I'm sure others would. You'll be fine. Just keep posting if you're unsure of anything (as you have here). It's all a learning curve and we all do our best to help eachother. Main thing is to keep an open mind, and asking for advice when you're unsure. xx
