Can’t be sure this is the same 2 I saw on FB but I referred them to this forum to rehome hoping you’d see them.
Such a sad world for some of these tortoises.

Happy, Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Day. I will be contacting him this morning. We received an email and now it's just figuring out the logistics. These 2 will be happy, free and eating healthy (outside of a 10 gallon aquarium) soon enough.
I'll say it again Thank You @DoubleD1996! for posting this it will give them a WAYYYY better life!
Thanks for the tag my friend @wellington, you are 1 of our biggest supporters and we never forget that. Maybe 1 day I'll be as knowledgeable as you, but only if I hang around here and learn, learn, learn. The TFO is the best thing for torts there is. (period)

O 1 more thing .....
still not sure if this is the same 2 but thank you @Renee_H

It takes a village to do what we do, all of us deserve a pat on the back for our efforts to save these 2

So we have bad news (maybe)... After sending us an email and letting us know we would be a great fit for these 2, crickets...... nothing..... no response from the 1 with the torts. We were starting to wonder what was going on, they just would not respond to repeated emails and phone texts and messages. We finally received an email a little while ago saying "we found a local Sanctuary to take the 2 of them, so sorry for the late response." So lets all hope this "Local Sanctuary" is not one of those ones we all know about, ya know the ones that feed fruits everyday, keep the Sulcatas together and with the other petting zoo animals. We tried and gave every opportunity to them to choose us even offered to drive the almost 10 hours. I am an optimist and will (until told other wise) think they are getting the life they deserve. We can't save em all, but we will try too and never give up!

I’m my experience this will answer itself in time. Someone needs you more.

We are firm believers in "Everything Happens For A Reason"
It is not hard to find the good, as you said just give it time and it will be obvious.

Darn, was really hope for the we got them update. Hopefully the person at least told the truth about who has them and not given to a person that will give the same bad care.
