went out to check on my two tortoises, a Russian and Leopard. checked the Russian and she was in her hide burrowed in and ready to sleep for the rest of the night. i threw her food scraps outside the enclosure so the ants wouldnt come in for them. all is good. i moved on to my Leopard, who was the one in rough condition when i rescued him (theyre both rescues). i normally have to search for him because he doesnt like going in his hide. after some searching i found him nuzzled in one of his common spots in the grass. i picked him up to move him to his hide..and nothing. no movement or reaction on his part. i stroked his front legs to coax him out of his shell, and still no movement. i gave him a soak and still nothing. hes dead. i just checked on them a few hours ago and he was just fine, was acting normal, looked normal, and was in his usual spot for the time of day. dont know what happened, dont really feel like debating on the cause. ive put so much energy and time into nursing him back to health..then to have this happen is a really crushing blow. im really upset and confused. this is where Squirts road to recovery and a happy life end abruptly.
