Hi
I've had my Russian tortoise for over 10 years. She went missing today. I've posted flyers and done all the right steps and searched for 3 hrs for her. I had a few questions. My backyard where she roams sometimes (under supervision until today ) is hard soil. So like it's diggable but its not really soft dirt but clumps of dry dirt. Is it possible for her to dig in that? And is it easy to spot where a tortoise is with that type of soil? I live in a neighborhood but there are wild animals here. And I live in socal where it gets cold at night. She's about 7 inches so how likely is it that she burrowed and is alive? Or is she most likely dead? Be honest do you think she will return or keep wandering until found?
