I am in pieces. My otherwise healthy tortoise, Mungo, became ill in the early hours of this morning.

She had a womb prolapse, possibly caused by a tumour. She passed several undeveloped eggs, so she may have been egg bound.

The vet had to euthanise my little girl. The vet said it was not something that could have been prevented or treated.

It was so, so traumatic. She was only 13 and spoiled rotten with a regular supplies of suitable food, regular baths, nutrients and an enormous enclosure.

I can’t get her little face out of my mind.

I'm very very sorry - she obviously had a wonderful life, and knew that she was loved.

Sorry for your loss. They are lovely to keep and easy to get attached to. In time you could look to buy another and give it the love and care.
