    Ah, this exactly. Thank you, this was very touching. R.I.P to Leroy as well.[hr] Sibi, what a beautiful tort you have, he reminds me a bit of my Iggy. I'm waiting eagerly for his news, I hope all will be well, though I am sure it will be.

    My tortoise has passed away.

    Thank you very much, I keep telling myself she's okay now, that she's not in pain to ease some of my grief, and it really does reassure me with that fact. We buried her in her favourite spot in the garden this morning, and it's somewhat relaxing to know that now she's somewhere she loved to be...

    My tortoise has passed away.

    Thank you all so much. It's been a hard day, I keep welling up at the thought of her. It's hard to convince myself she's really gone. Rest in peace.

    My tortoise has passed away.

    You can find out what happened if you check my last post, but it was really late and most of the lines we rung were closed, my family were arguing and wouldn't help me find something, I went down early in the morning to check on her and she was just in the exact same space, and when I checked...

    My tortoise is gasping/choking?

    Please help, she's been doing this for about half an hour now, directly after she ate food (food she usually eats) she opened her mouth REALLY wide, so wide I could see down her throat even though there was nothing there. She made these squelching noises and now she just puts her head down on...

    Here's a picture, but she spends about 30 minutes each day out of her enclosure (not necessarily outside), and thank you for the replies so far!

    Two females or a female and male?

    I currently have a five year old marginated female, and we're definitely prepared for another tortoise, especially since our local reptile center is travelling to Germany to bring in more reptiles, and they said there are marginated tortoises there but they won't be bringing them to this country...
