Mikeh: How on earth can it be considered 'thoughtless' when the two threads are totally separate from each other. I still haven't read the other thread. I had no way of knowing this was a sick tortoise, and I'm sure the others who were joking about the penis had no way of knowing either.
This is why it is important for each member to keep info that pertains to the same problem in one thread instead of posting it all over the Forum. With over 23,000 registered members and hundreds of new threads posted every day, there's just no way we can get to know a person and his tortoise unless he keeps the info to one thread.

I'm very sorry that your tortoise died. Like birds, a tortoise can be sick for a very long time before he starts to show symptoms. And sometimes by that time it is too late to do anything about it. This is a sad time for you, and I wish it didn't have to happen.
