Little Stumpy escaped

So last Tuesday Stump (1.5yr 15lb sulcata) was by his burrow under the blackberry bush and busted through a hole in the fence by force. My wife checked on him 10 minutes later and he was lost for 1 week. I was an absolute wreck and it's the worst feeling in the world. We spent 2 days trying to...
