One of my friends star tort just passed away and he was really sad so I gave him on of my Star torts. He had it for many years and I just wanted to make him happy. I do know for a fact that he takes care of it really well and he deserved my Star.
Honestly I was in two minds but I know how much he loved his star, cared for it and experienced so it was the best thing to do. I now have one star which I will keep forever. It's eyes were giving problem but ok now. It had sticky eyes but with 2 baths a day in warm water mixed with a little cod livers oil, it has recovered. Now I soak it once a day.
Samstar - i agree with kymiie - you are very brave - i could not not give away one of my babies - so brave you are and caring of your friend what a gift you gave!
