I wonder who the 1 (Hidden) User is who keeps popping up  ???
Not sure. Hope we don't tread on them in the dark. :)

A £tenner says it's Ivor Montgomery?  8)

Poor little feller. I suppose you have taken him to the vet? What happened to him?

Yes he was at vets all day yesterday and needs to go back tommorow.

Were not sure how it happened, found him like it yesterday morning so dont know if hes climbed and fell back onto his shell or whether something in his little enclosure has fallen on him. Really havnt got a clue!

Lets keep hoping he will pull through. We don't like to see animals suffer do we.

Gosh, Joolz, I hope you get some good news soon. Poor little guy. I love tortoises - ours was taken from the garden by a neighbour, but I couldn't prove it. And Jackie, you LEGEND!! I do get it!! Of course I apologise. (What for again?).

Hes not too bad thanks!! just been back to vets and they said it is healing but hes got to go friday and may need another patch and more glue!

He is moving around a bit more today and ive managed to get him eating so hopefully things are picking up!

Yes vets are very expensive. Wow! he's a bit like Predator mending himself with glue and polyfilla  ;D Still, I'm glad things are looking up a bit for him.
