Oh well eight days ago Raphael went missing
Have raked and gently dug up soil in desperation ( put water out and cress ) had sunny days and rainy nights but no sign of him - just emptied and cleaned his home , washed it and now had to put in attic away ( as I kept looking in it thinking he...
Well after reading a story online about a seagull attacking a 15 year old tortoise in Cornwall and reading about predators I actually am now starting to think he was picked up by a seagull/ crow or magpie which when I e looked out have been there at one time or another on the holly tree - when I...
My husband moved the one piece of fence then the other piece hours later so it may be possible he may well have got through the railings into next doors garden but neighbour has been away when he returns it's worth asking him to check his garden
The thing is behind the two fences with side of the shed ( shed has no gaps under it either) there is soil but wooden pallet with holes and shrubs etc and it is possible he has got through to the conservation wooded land behind but with difficulty as there are lots of stringy shrubs so cannot...
Well still no sign of Raphael and it a really sunny day today - I think that's it - my feeling is he was taken by a bird mind you seen squirrels on our fence today
The patio is 6x6 metres with no shrubs or lawn but a ring gap in fence ( which he tried he could not get under two weeks ago ) and yet he's gone but behind that fence is soil and ivy etc but raked it gently but nothing as yet - but he was only tiny
Well we live on Barry Island by the seaside - I did see baby seagull circling above but thought nothing of it but just to be vigilant we were in our netted gazebo mind but would have seen it swoop down I'm sure - we also live behind a conservation area but plugged up ALL gaps so it's very odd -...
would he survive anyway as its been over 48 hours - maybe he was picked up by a seagull or something but we were in the garden and would have seen it - it's weird - the gap seems to small for him to go under
Thankyou
But still no sign today well a small burrow we gently went through it but nothing - left strawberries - nothing eaten apart from dandelion leaves ( with vs in but could be slugs )
We have patio garden no gaps ( well apart from one he tried and could not get through) hewas go eat 3pm yesterday so pulled fencing off where that gap was and just soil everywhere it's 5pm next day now gone out and gently raked earth - put leaves out - it's a damp day - called him - but nothing...
