Trying to explain to students that tortoises are omnivores, not strict herbivores is difficult when the majority of their diet is plants!
When we feed animals in captivity, it’s so important to keep their diet as natural as possible, but also as healthy and balanced as possible.
Tortoises will eat salad of course, but fresh (and clean and safe!) wild weeds are far more natural for them. In the wild they would likely feed on some carrion (especially bone) for calcium but this wouldn’t be ideal to provide in captivity. Instead we can offer a cuttlefish bone which gives them the opportunity to get additional calcium in their diet and help keep their beaks filed down 🐢🐢🐢

Cookie and Theo are a newly bonded pair that have found comfort with me. Cookie was retired with me, which means he will stay under my care so he won’t be bred from, and so I could find him a friend.
Luckily, my mum came across Theo (baby) who was lonely. These pair were slow bonded and are now BFFs 🥰

Met some amazing animals with my students yesterday with a totally fab unit manager, Sophie.
Here’s a very quick blast of some encounters we had when learning about safe restraint and management of different species :)

Just casually bathing my 8ft snake 😅
This is Aphrodite and she is the love of my life, along with my dogs and my other reptiles 😁 she’s been very poorly recently but is absolutely fine now except for a bad shed. I like to bath her with a wee splash of baby oil and warm water then rinse her down and dry her off. This helps to get those last few skin flakes off her ❤️ so pleased she is making excellent progress 🐍🐍🐍
Thank you students of the @asuswchs for all your help and support with the #RescueReptiles

Wolfie has finally taken to the pool. Good, clean, supervised fun! Trying to keep the dogs cool has been a challenge today 😅
