    I think my Desert Tortoise has died.

    And I did ask on here the first day in my introduction thread and they told me to keep an eye on him.

    Hello all!

    Hi, and thank you for the welcome! I sure hope she's okay. I have had a very rough day and when I was told we forgot about her and that she's not moving, it didn't make it any better! Let's keep our fingers crossed, we have already lost a dog and chicken this year.

    Hello all!

    I did read about the bubbling and foaming, but none of that today. He has been in room temperature for 30 minutes now, we will go remove him. Also, my husband went and checked the area he was in and he can see his footprints all over, so said he was active quite a bit while out there. So can I...
