3 days ago, this female desert tortoise was surrendered to CTTC Chino. She had been owned by an elderly couple who lives in a mobile home park, for the last 15 years. This tortoise lived on cement and was fed two large meals a day. It shows!! She has never hibernated. Would sleep under their outdoor stairs, where she was provided a heater.
It sounds like the couple really loved her and did what they thought was best.
Needless to say, this has all changed!!
She will live like a Desert Tortoise.
