My two Herman’s tortoises have passed away, one last Saturday and one tonight. Both showed no signs of illness at all other than being slightly off their food which I attributed to the time of year.
I am absolutely devastated, I have had them since they were babies. They hatched in 2016 . Dolly was always smaller than Nelly but always ate well.
They have never been ill before, I just have no idea what has happened. The vet I spoke to also wasn’t sure, and just suggested it might have been something contagious.
Has anyone else experienced this? I’m so upset and worrying that I’ve done something wrong after 6 years to hurt them
