Lost a baby

[Onidara]

Today one of my 22 redfoots passed. She wasn't using her front limbs and wouldn't stop eating dirt. I separated her from the others a week ago when she was acting strange and today she passed. I'll miss you my little hex, daddy loves you! @N2TORTS

Sorry to hear that

 

[wellington]

So sorry.

This is very abnormal behavior and a very sudden death.

May I suggest necropsy to find the COD and potentially protect all your remaining tortoises?

I would if I had the money but right now I just retired from the army and I'm waiting for my retirement pay to kick in

So sorry!

You can put the dead tortoise in the freezer for now, and then once you have the money you can take it in for the necropsy.

Sorry about your baby, very heartbreaking for our animal babies to pass.

Sad. How old or big was he. Like Tom said it would be interesting to see why. Are any other of your torts acting strange in any way. Sorry about your bad news.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your baby each life that passes shows us how precious the ones we have are

 

[Onidara]

None of my other torts are acting strange, she was about 3 inches long
