RE: Hints and tips
I assume the tortoise is smallish? You'll have to look in everywhere. Those small tortoises will get themselves into the weirdest places you would never think to look.
An old member had one climb into a dryer vent one time. |

RE: Hints and tips
One of the best tips I've heard is to get down on hands and knees and look from closer to the tortoises POV.
Some lessons I learned the hard way, so you don't have to:

RE: Hints and tips
Sorry guys but it's bad news, we can't find him anywhere a we think it's possible that somebody has stolen him!! Theres no way he would have got out of his enclosure and there was a few Cypriots watching them feed him a few weeks back so maybe

RE: Hints and tips
Don't give up the look. It can be amazing what they can climb or squeeze through to escape. Also did you did down in his enclosure to see if he went underground? Especially under a plant.
