My sincere condolences for your loss.

I'm sure you'll find a home, but please don't rush the process. Take your time finding an owner who will provide the best care.

I'm very sorry about your loss. I wish I could help you with the red foots, but I have too much already. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck finding homes for them.

Here also.
I'm sorry for your loss and am too far away to offer to take them.
But please let us assist you with their care until youve found them a home.
Ask any question that you may have in a separate post.

I am sorry for your loss. Can you give a bit more information about the tortoises? Size, age and gender if you know it, and maybe post a few photos?

Hello my condolences for your loss of mom. I reached out to my brother who lives in W. Virginia to contact you for your location and details on tortoises, maybe we can help. I live in Florida and would like to get them down here eventually, thank you.

I am very sorry for your loss :( Would you be willing to ship? I am in Wisconsin and could possibly take one off your hands but I am not available to pick up and drive to Virginia. Did they just roam your mothers home?

Could you give me more information about the tortoise society in VA. I am in Vienna, VA and looking for a good home for a yellowfoot. Thanks.

It's the Mid Atlantic Turtle and Tortoise Society (MATTS). Send me a private message with your email address and/or phone number, any details you know about your tortoise such as age, gender and origin along with a picture of your Yellowfoot and I will get the foster/adoption process started for you.

It looks like there is already a new home found local to the OP for the four redfoots.

Looking for a good home for Sammy our yellowfoot. We have had her for 14+ years but are unable to continue to provide the attention she needs. She is about 15 lbs.
