I love my torts. I am so mad at myself for taking such bad care of my tort for 6 years. It’s hard to stay mad at myself on this website everyone is so kind and supportive. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 4. My mom is pretty busy most of the time and usually can’t help out with pet care. I think it’s awesome that you are capable of helping your daughter raise a tort,especially because it can grow up with her and might just outlive her. Thank you so much for all your help and support.I have the exact opposite problem, it's my daughter's tortoise. Not mine. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't have time, or care as much as she should. She is 12, and I think it would do her a lot of good to read through all of your post and maybe get inspired again. I think I may have told you this before, but if I haven't it's refreshing to see someone so young want to put so much effort and energy into their pet.
