Hi Everyone

Just to let you know we weren't put off by Terri's death and have bought a new baby, Scooby, he/she is tiny, first visit to the vet on Monday, fingers crossed all goes well.

Hi Mick n Tracy,

I'm so pleased that you've persisted, and that you now have a lovely new baby. What species is he? Did you buy him from a breeder? You've been through a really dreadful time, but I know this new little one will have a super home with you. Can't wait to see photos of Scooby -- do post some -- and many congratulations.

Scooby is another Leopard to go with Shelby, we thought she was lonely by her herself and needed to get her a little friend to replace Terri.
I will ask Mick to post some pics of Scooby, he is very small, 6 months old, half the size of Shelby but just as gorgeous, he/she is wild and very lively and eats like a small horse already, thank god there are tones of weeds in the garden lol.
Poor wee sod will be wormed on Monday at the vets too.

Awww Scooby sounds lovely, hope all goes well this time, cant wait to see the pics, have you put Scooby in quarantine to be on the safe side?  Where did you get him from?

Regards VivienneClick and drag me down to the editor

scooby came from a breeder near middlesborough
who has lots of leopards including full grown, had scooby all checked out at our local vets & he was giving a full clean bill of health, the vet also commented on how active scooby was so we then introduced him to shelby & they seem to get on brilliant eating together, drinking & basking side by side

That is brilliant news! It would be great to see a photo of Scooby!

Hi,

I'm afraid I'm no expert on this at all, but if you click on TPG Members Forum in the left-hand column, and then on How to use the forum, then there are some instructions on uploading photos. You can also upload them into an album in the Members Photos Gallery, and I think the same principles apply. I do know they have to be reduced in size before they are uploaded. Good luck and I look forward to seeing the photos!

Hi

I've had a look on the members gallery and I can't see Scooby and Shelby's pictures yet; so if  you are still having trouble loading them up send them to me, and I'll add them to your album if you like.  I'm also going to redo the instructions for loading photos soon which might be of more help.
