Tortoise Diary - The Tortoise Dairy to aid in successful tortoise husbandry fro healthy animals

We can't stress how important preventative measures are, after all the emails we receive from tortoise keepers at there wits end with an already ill tortoise... Not to say we can simply prevent any ill health to your tortoises, but even when you're working in a reactive manner a small change needs to be spotted as quickly as possible.

The 'Tortoise Diary' was born a tracking system which at a touch of a button could report the last years weight loss of 'terry' the tortoise in hibernation, a filing system for good house keeping one that could keep all the records neatly organised in together but then could fetch one instantly, a plotter which you could visually show the growth rate over a given time span to help diagnose health issues, weight gain or loss rate, and help to determine females which could be retaining eggs.

Numbers are great for computers and calculators but when there's pages of figures for each tortoise nothing beats a plotted graph to see a clearer picture of his / her's development, If there had been no historical data recorded much of the knowledge we have now would most certainly be lacking.
