Sorry to hear that. Is she getting enough calcium? My friend's tiel starting having seizures and we realized he had stopped eating his cuttlebone. I had him get some powdered calcium to sprinkle on his food and he hasn't had a seizure since then.

This gold heart sticker fell on him and he gave me such a hard time about getting it off. He wanted to be bedazzled.

Thanks for the suggestion!

The vet gives her a combo shot every late fall. I know it has A. I'm guessing A, C, and D. It's definitely made a difference. Her eyes don't get glued shut anymore in winter. No more respiratory infections. With her both not eating and not brumating, I worry about her health.

That's right. I have to think about this

Alright, well, I was gonna plan this out better and maybe do a campaign of some kind, but with the Tufts appointment now being TOMORROW plans have changed. I don't know what all will be done tomorrow, but the original estimate was $3K and I needed to raise $1K more to reach that.

I will go get some to try it out! Elsie doesn't see well, but she should be able to smell them. Did the girls get leaves too?

Elsie hasn't eaten since either September or October. But even though she doesn't brumate, she still doesn't lose weight either over the winter. She did get vitamin shots in December. She gets that every winter. Otherwise she has trouble opening her eyes!

good idea. Don't want to get frostbit toes! In the wild you'd still be asleep underground!

Oh that's much warmer than here! The most we've hit is upper 40s

Oh no - I definitely have allergies!. Plus I do worry about bringing in insects also

Hmmm...that's a really nice enrichment idea. Maybe I'll try that here

Way too cold up here for a turtle to take a walk!

They are so cruel! Can't trick Elsie into eating anything yet, though she woke up and took a bath yesterday!
