Indeed!!!
Hello, Linhdan, hope you're having a good day. :)
Actually. I lost Khaleesi :(
I lost her on thursday. Ive been going around looking for her but no luck so far. My sister and I put out flyers yesterday. Someone called me this morning but they found a box turtle, not Khaleesi. Of course I'm feeling down.
My only worry is, its suppose to get very hot today. Like 110F. Its been very hot the last 2 days too so I'm hoping she found nice shade or burrowed somewhere. Its going to raining tomorrow and for the next 4 days after that so I know she'll be able to drink.
Shes pretty healthy, so I'm confident she'll survive, and hibernate if need be.
When i lost Max, i was more worried because hes the weaker tortoise.
*sigh* you would have thought i learned my lesson the first time :(

Oh no! That's awful :(

Fingers crossed you find her. It's so scary. I'd be desperate if we lost Joe.

Oh, goodness, I'm so sorry! :(
I know you've probably done all this, but in case you haven't, knock on some doors, crawl about on your hands and knees everywhere possible, contact local vets and rescue centres and post in the lost and found section here. offer local kids a reward and the same in Criagslist or your equivalent.
I so hope you find her, don't give up hope yourself!

Thank you! Of course ive been through this about 2 months ago. But I'm still searching when i can. She will show up again. Im sure. I believe Max senses her presence is absent because hes been lethargic since shes been gone.

Thank you! This makes me think, we heard stories about members with tortoises that will cuddle and stick around their owners when outside of their enclosure. Could this be because they spend alot of time with their tortoises? I followed the "less handling the better" way. But now i feel like i must rethink.
But thank you john. Hope everything is well with you.

I spend lots of time with Tidgy, loadsa hand feeding and cuddles.
She pretty much follows me about outside and if she wanders off she'll always come back, but not necessarily when called.
I still keep a very close eye on her though, just in case.

How cute ! I hand feed mine sometimes. I havent cuddled with any of them except for Max when he was sick. And i will admit, Max is more fond of me than khaleesi is. But it could also be because khaleesi is just one of the torts that take a bit more time to adjust.

I spent so long with Tidgy when she was ill when I first got her, we both got into the habit of being together a lot.
Not sure i'd recommend it usually.
But it is beautiful.

So sorry to hear this! Very upsetting for you.
Try leaving her favourite food or something they can't resist like cucumber or strawberries around your garden. They have very good noses and it may bring her out of hiding.
Is there any chance she could have been stolen from your garden?
