Good day everyone. I have different species of tortoises available for sale. Redfoot, sulcata, aldabra, leopard, albino, star and hermann tortoises available. You can contact me for more details.
Been along time, glad to be back
I am afraid the vet did not agree with Daisy’s prognosis. And made me surrender her to a rescue.
She said she was suffering from liver failure. And a rescue needed to take care of her. Every time she moved, her skin would flake off.

She was out growing her shell and that was very painful. All because she hasn’t hibernated in who knows how long.

The toenails and beak were the least of her problems.
I was reading a comment and lost it when I was trying to login.
It was concerning the health of my inherited three toe. I will look for a vet for it tomorrow. I have more photos to share.
