Tortoises sick


News update from Slow Coach & Charlie after a long break.

However, it is no good news yet. Both the tortoises have fallen ill. Charlie has caught cold due to the rainy weather lately. He has been sneezing all day long for the last few days. Luckily, his appetite for food is not affected. Everday Charlie will spend some time basking in the sun to help clear his lungs. Hope his cold will go away in another few more days.

Slow Coach, well... She has eaten too much sushi lately & her tummy is not taking it too well. Her stools are watery & orange in colour. She will have to go on dry food diet (tortoise pellets) until her stool returns to normal. She's under observation & if her condition doesn't improve in a few more days, she will have to see her vet.
