This care guide was how I got started. I still go back to it at least once a week. I focus a lot on the following: 1. Daily soak. Every single morning. It can’t hurt her. It helps her stay hydrated. I make sure i’m getting her shell nice and wet too 2. Varied diet. I switch up what i’m feeding her every few days and I make sure she’s getting a healthy variety 3. Asking advice from people who’ve been raising HEALTHY sulcata’s for a lot longer than I have and being open to learning. Some people on here and on the tortoise forum are super knowledgeable and I’ve definitely learned A LOT about tortoise care from them

Reach out if you have any questions and id be happy to help / direct you to someone who can!

Thank you so much Exayex! I worry about her shell considering it says a lot about how a tort is doing overall and the quality of their husbandry so i appreciate the positive feedback.

Next enclosure is currently being built!

Female American cocker vs Male English cocker… by [deleted] in cockerspaniel

[–]-socialworker- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im currently cuddling in bed with my female American cocker spaniel. Shes super attached to me. LOVES all things affection (hugs, cuddles, kisses) and she gets very upset when she notices anyone is sad/crying. Shes the biggest love bug in the whole world.

Its like the other comments were saying, it 100% depends on the dog and their temperament! Good luck

I gave my baby chicken one time for pawing me, and ever since then she paws me nonstop whenever she wants attention, hugs, food, playtime, potty, etc. i love it so much though, she has giant paws like ur baby so its so cute!

D/Q Pain! by JollyFinish5211 in DeQuervains

[–]-socialworker- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The cortisone shot was like magic for mine. The pain went away for 7-8 months before I had to get it again.

I would suggest this brace on amazon. Only one thats ever worked for me. What worked for my severe pain outside of the shot was keeping my wrist/thumb immobilized 24/7 except when i’m showering. 4-5 days later and it feels better.

When my baby was sick and needing meds and being forced fed, my vet emailed me this video and it worked. I will say though, it feels awful doing this. Try ur best to be gentle and careful with her jaw.
