To think just a few months ago we were at eachothers throats!
I first visited this forum around 3 years ago. If I remember correctly I posted all in caps, screaming ' Help what's the white stuff coming from my sulcata"!
Marissa answered my question and got me on the right track.
Since then I've learned quite a lot. Not an expert by any means, but always willing to help out if I can.

Thank you isn't commonly used here, but it's great when somebody does thank you.
However just a simple reply such as:
I visited the links you posted and have changed the diet, is such and such a better diet? My tortoise is starting to eat now etc, would be nice.

At least that way we know if things are improving or not.
You do have to be thick skinned to stay on this forum for any legnth of time. Many regulars take a break when it gets too frustrating, and return somewhat refreshed to help out again.

I certainly don't want to drive Cara away, she came here for advise, which means she's interested in doing what's best for her tortoise.
But it would be nice to know if any of the advise given has helped.

Cara if you're reading this, please don't get upset. We would hate to lose you through any misunderstanding.
I hope that the advise people posted for you was usefull and that your sulcata is doing better.
Terry.
