Hello fellow tortoise friends
I had a 2 year old sulcata that I really loved.. Today as I checked on her I noticed that shes lifeless... the day before everything was perfectly fine no unusual behavior.
I changed the water and food daily
Temperature and humidity were fine
She lived in her setup for 2 years without a problem.. as I investigated I opened her mouth with tweezers and found a piece of opuntia stuck in her throat.. I think that she suffocated to death [emoji17]
I fed her spineless opuntia since day one...
It's from my own garden so I can 100% say it's pesticide free.
I always throwed in whole pieces so that she has to work a little harder to get it...
2 years no problems... and today..........
I'm heartbroken... she was already a family member...
If I think about all the money and hours of care + searching for the right information I thought I'm totally prepared for everything I guess sometimes u just cant do anything...
I don't know if I should get another tortoise
I don't think it would be the same...
