I have a 6yr old horsefield tortoise that during the summer he lives in the garden and has dug himself a cave and also has a wooden box he often sleeps in at night.
yesterday I went out as normal to make sure he was back in there as he’s been pretty active the last few days even though it’s cold, he’s been basking in the sunlight as normal.
last night I couldn’t find him anywhere (2 1/2 hours looking and another 1 hour today), I can’t find anywhere he could have escaped as everywhere is blocked off and no sign of digging
what I want to know is if it’s possible that a predator could have taken him, buzzard etc?
does anyone have any experience of this?
Thank you in advance!
