Victors visits the Vets

Posted on August 09, 2016

Noticing Victor was a little slower than usual this week our first thought was that the rather up and down summer temperatures were confusing his body clock.  When even the sunniest day failed to perk him up and his weekly weigh in showed he had lost a little weight we felt a visit to the Vets was needed.  

Our friends at Forest House Veterinary practice saw Victor straightaway.  The children looked on as the vet gave him a thorough check up they told us a little medicine was needed and prescribed more green vegetables for him!  Returning to nursery the children popped him back in his box and we agreed he wouldn't visit the play rooms for a week, leaving him to catch up on some r & r.  The vet tipped us off that rocket was a favourite with tortoises and the Dragonfly children have since prepared one of the planters as this will become Victor's Vegetable Patch.
