So sorry to hear I really thought he would do fine. I will miss seeing pictures of him!

How are you holding up?
I hope you will still stick around on the forum
karleyreed said:Heya. I keep checking it now and then. I complained to the pet shop owner I got mike from, I never liked that guy anyway, he said he would give me another tort free of charge. I'm optimistic about his offer as it will be another baby more than likely. Don't know if I can put myself through that again. I buried Mike today. Got a tort ornament, a lamp and a candle for his grave, lit a lantern and sent it off too. Buried him in a nice box with his flannel to keep him warm when he passes. It's weird because since mike died, a lot or strange things have been happening! I came home today and the light in his enclosure was on and no one was in the house. I just think its him telling us he's sticking around in spirit
laney said:Good to hear from ya
That's really beautiful what you have done to remember little mike <3
Only you can decide whether to get another or not, I think it was just bad luck about mike as he seemed to be doing well to start with. If it was me I think I'd want a little time to absorb before getting another but definitely would in time, but if you are up for it then go for it . It will never replace mike but there's always gona be space in you heart for a new little tort
karleyreed said:Yeah I know, which makes me think it was my fault lol. I don't wanna put another tort through that If I was to blame :/ I'm not rushing into anything, And if I did decide to get one in the future, I would get an older tort. Babies are very hard work. There will always be a place in my heart for a new tort, maybe again one day. But for now I'm going to continue my research.
