I purchased two baby sulcata tortoises 2 months ago. The boy tortoise died after 2 weeks. At that time the girl was sick also but got better after soaks and vitamins. I haven't changed anything in her regiments, but this morning she was in her in closure with her head tucked in to her shell and her legs were limp. as I was giving her a soak she did not respond so I took her to the vet and about after an hour she died. after evaluation the vet said that pebbles was probably sick when I purchased her and there wasn't anything that I did wrong. her diagnosis was severe MBD vs congenital problem rule out infectious disease. I am very sad and disappointed about losing pebbles and bam bam and before I do this again I just want to make sure that this couldn't have been avoided. Even with the best of care is it very difficult to raise a tortoise, because I really wanted to spend the time in nurturing the baby tortoises to adulthood. I live in the suburbs of Chicago Illinois and maybe I just got a bad breeder I don't know. could anybody respond to my questions because right now I am feeling very discouraged.
