I got a baby sulcata (Micah) a month ago and I wanted to share a picture. I had a year and a half (Amara) but she went missing. She didn’t burrow or climb out of her enclosure. She wasn’t sick. I feel horrible because I didn’t put something other than giving her a shade on top. I saw some hawks flying around and my spouse was shooting in the air to scare them away. I never believed after months of being outside she would be in danger. September 7th I was working outside and would check on her throughout the day. I was going to get her and bring her inside for the night and she was gone. I checked for burrows any signs of the high walls being compromised and nothing. Every day since I have cried like a baby looking for her five times a day but I hate to even think about what happened. The hawks got her. Has anyone even heard of this happening? I haven’t gave up my search but in my heart I’ve had to accept what happened. My wife recently got me another baby sulcata because life without one is unimaginable. We built a terrarium that’s 4ft long 3ft wife and 2ft y’all a week before Amara disappeared for her indoor enclosure because it’s getting cooler outside and she was still too small for outside. It’s hard looking at the terrarium even with Micah in it without my heart breaking over Amara. I contacted the vet the Arkansas game and wildlife local vets and people within five miles of me to be on the lookout for Amara. While I wait for her return meet Micah. No pet store rescue this time. The tortoise supply had been recommended to me many times in the forum and she arrived healthy happy and already has my heart
