Forum Suggestion

[cmazza]

Hi,

I know we have quite a few stickies at the top of the forum but I wondering if anyone thinks it would be a good idea to have a 'common illnesses and treatments' one. I know that prevention is better than cure but I thougt it may be useful to people.

This probably seems very cheeky as I don't have a tortoise or turtle, am just a very keen wannabe owner.

I was thinking along the lines of - early signs of illness, physical and behavioural changes and what steps to take to cure them/take action. Obviously the best bet is to take the poorly little creature to the vet as it is difficult to diagnose over the internet. But it could be a useful refernce point.

Just an idea, didn't mean to ramble on so much.

That sounds like an excellent idea!

It would be really good to have a list of common problems/illnesses and what they manifest as.

We do have an awful lot of Stickies though already! But they are all very useful! Agree this would be useful also, should save people starting new threads unnecessarily (though that seems to happen a lot anyway)

this sounds like an excellent idea it would be really helpful for everyone .

mr owner/mod should be able to create a sub forum that has all the stickies in.. (i think) so on the forum front there is a single sticky at the top called um stickies... and a click on this will take you to all the other stickies...

I think it would be very successful (also a turtle setup one )
