There are probably a lot of members who rarely go into the other sections as they only use the ones they know can offer them quick advice, and probably don't search through the other sections at all. so would it be a good idea to put this post from Caz as a sticky in this section?

Good idea but Incy but we already have 9 sticky threads in Shelled... we try not to have too many as they can quickly take over the first page and a lot of people don't like that. It wasn't such a problem in the past in Shelled but it seems to be getting much busier in this section of the forum at the moment.

I'll add a link to the caresheet in the Med Tortoises & Their Care Sticky though.

I can understand that, too many stickies, too much scrolling and page searching to find the thread you want,

I was just looking at the age of some of the posts in the general help part, there has been a lot of changed attitudes since some of those posts.

Are you able to create a sticky link to

Shelled Care - Reptile Forums UK

that will save having lots of stickies in here but give new members somewhere else to gain information

I apologise to the OP for going off the original topic

I checked Nanna and according to the BDR she is only .18, so does this mean that she is underweight?
I have no intention of hibernating her this year but just wondered if .18 is a problem in general.

Thank you in advance

Sorry to be a pain but would just like to know if anyone knows

Thank you and sorry again
