Embarrassingly I managed to lose our ten month old marginated tortoise 19 days ago. We have had a cold snap and some awful rain (oxfordshire UK) that had waterlogged the garden, When s/he disappeared we searched everywhere and no sign ( s/he disappeared in five minutes while we were out with her but took eyes off obviously. Garden was secure. we ripped the shed up assuming she had got under but no sign. I wanted to ease the pain of the loss (assuming a bird must have grabbed it up) and replaced the tortoise.
Today our tortoise has reappeared back in the garden. No signs of any damage. and weight has actually gained a couple of grammes. What do i need to be looking for to know s/he is alright.breathing seems normal eyes are bright, seems to be a miracle. Can i keep both tortoises together?
