Default Some updates of Bruce!

Hey,
Some of you know, November 2008 I got Bruce, my hermanns tortoise. He's been doing REALLY well, and hibernated this year for the first time, and I was very nervous, but he came out fine etc etc

Just been playing with the camera and got some shots of Bruce..




Cheers,
Tom

Cheers,
Tom

Ooh I love making new homes for things I gave my 2 an upgrade recently, from an indoor rabbit cage to a big table.

Wow, nice, well I'm either going to convert a bookcase, or get dad to build me a table, I think I might get him to build it, then it can be to my requirements! I did at one point have a 2-level house for him, did you see it? But it just took up too much room.. let me know if you haven't seen it, and I'll post a picture of it.
Cheers,
Tom

I think I remember it too. I've seen a couple of 2 level ones. I was debating putting a second floor on my table, but i have my doubts as to how much they'd use it. I don't have enough sockets to provide lighting on another level as well, and they already have a cool area, so I've never bothered.

Did Bruce use his top level much?

It worked quite well in my opinion.
He used more than I thought, he actually used it alot.


There it is.
Cheers,
Tom
