    Large Adult Male Sulcata Looking for Forever Home

    Rumor is our big guy, he currently weighs about 27 pounds. His age is unknown. He came to us 3 years ago and has resided on our farm since. As some might remember he did escape at one point and was found 120 some days later! We are downsizing our farm and planned to bring him with but he has...

    He would of called from under his bed, hahaha. I was so scared he would drop him if he retracted fast and that escaping air sound came out. I kept warning him that it could happen but that he is not hissing! He's not a shy tortoise, thank goodness.

    Thank you all for sharing this great news with us! I have read each and every comment as they came and have just been too busy up until now to comment. He is home and "grounded"/not allowed in the main yard (which is where he escaped) and instead is in his usual space. He has over an acre to...

    The woman originally rumored to of taken our sully has reappeared in our lives all of a sudden. We haven't heard from her in months yet yesterday just after Cat (Florida Fish and wildlife) posted here and called the hospital this lady did too. I'm wondering if she has been following this thread...

    Hey there! Morgan actually did get the call. Our hospital also called to let us know the gentlemen and you (Cat) called as well! We've returned your call but like you said, you're out. I am going to call the regional number as suggested. Liz was not available either. Busy day for everyone! I'm...

    Little George is STILL with us! He has even started eating on his own just last week or so! Amazing. His eyes still don't stay open on their own though. They dry up and close really quickly so I am hesitant to release him.

    Nothing as of yet. We've had some cold weather here in North Florida, it even snowed one day. I am hoping that wherever our baby is that he's inside and warm at least. I wish I had a good update for everyone. Thank you for thinking of us and sending us all the good vibes you can!

    Itty bitty

    I finally got a CRE hung at the right level above him to keep him comfy while soaking. I've noticed that his skin gets buildup or something on it after soaking. Almost like he's waterlogged in some parts. Does that make sense? She he goes longer between soaks his skin looks great/normal but his...

    He's still kicking! We've taking everyone's advice and have been doing the baby food soaks twice a day (45 mins or so each.) I've mixed chicken with carrots and peas with a bit of warm water. Still not eating on his own though. Im afraid of leaving him in anything but the damp moss we have him...

    I meant to add, the hoarder lady found out someone had contacted me about a tort they found...she had the nerve to ask me if I would put her in touch with the lady because she wants one...red flag much? I don't know what I can do to get closer and know for a fact she doesn't have him. Today I...

    Still nothing. The weather here has finally warmed up again. It was warm when we list him then cooler for a week and now warm again. Hoping he's safe wherever he is. Heart breaking to think we won't see him for Christmas. A lady called me today and said she found a tortoise stuck in her fence...

    Thats the feeling I've gotten too, that someone saw him crossing and picked him up. Good intentions or not. The dog went right to the fence across the street, we entered and she hesitated to enter the tall brush, finally she did but kept circling and losing a scent. I don't know if she was...

    The dog came out this morning and worked for an hour or 2. She did pick up her scent at the spot we suspected she got out at, she then went under the fence and across the road to the woods we've been walking. That's when she lost the scent. It's been closer today so we're hoping he's burrowed...

    Thank you. You have no idea how good it feels to be able up come here and know others can sympathize with the situation. I think friends are tired of hearing about it. Tomorrow a retired tracking dog is coming to help. Worried that tomorrow marks a week and that this dog hasn't worked since last...
