Tula, my Iberian Greek Tortoise, passed away this morning. She had lost some weight, was not eating, digging in, and acting as if she were ready to hibernate(which, in this species. is not typical. In the beginning, we thought she was just getting adjusted to her new surroundings. As time went on, we thought maybe she was sick or she had worms. She saw the vet, who said she was dehydrated and underweight. Her clutch-mate, Atlas, was gaining and eating and acting normal. Both were dewormed as a precaution(using Paracur orally) I did not want to do this myself for fear of overdosage. My husband found her this morning dead. Please keep our kids in your thoughts. We only have had them for 3 weeks and we are doing all of the right things(UVB lamp, Heat lamp, water, fresh foods, calcium, soaking, humidity checks, etc.) Our kids are so sad. Tula was born on August 4, 2018 and died September 27th, 2018. She was not even 2 months old. Thank you for letting me vent.
