@Taylorlynn48 Yes, there are a lot of crows flying about here, the vet told me it could’ve been them who did the damage. Apparently they’ve seen it before. I don’t think it was anyone’s pet since the place I found him/her is a large common area, not close to anyone’s home. I’m currently in...

Thank you @Yvonne G , it looks like I got there just in time to see him through his last hour or so. I’m just so sorry this happened, wish I could’ve gotten to him/her much earlier. I just hope the little one is at peace now. I’m now looking up that same place every time we take our walk with my...

Thank you both @wellington and @Mrs.Jennifer It really hits hard when you lose a life, especially one who was just starting, and I wish I could’ve found him/her earlier but all I can do now is hope the little one is at peace now.

Thank you @Lyn W . I appreciate your kind words. I hope the little one is at peace now.

@Jacqui Thank you. I was hoping things looked worse than they were but unfortunately it wasn’t the case. I wish we’d found it much earlier and was able to do something to save the little one. Thank you for all the advice.

I forgot to say that in the meantime I took your advice-also from past experience with my own torts- and put the little one in warm water and in a place where there was sun to keep it warm.

@Jacqui @KarenSoCal Thank you both for replying as quick as you did. Unfortunately the little one has passed away. I’ve been on the phone ever since I posted here, trying to find an exotic vet which was very hard. I finally got a number from our vet where I take my dog to, and contacted a more...

Hi all, I just found this little one and its shell is damaged. Baby hardly moves and keeps opening mouth. Can you please help me. It looks like the shell is water damaged and there’s water inside. I’ll try and post a photo. i’ve attached the photos. G. ps. I hope this is the right place to...

Hi all, I admit I haven’t been much active around here-though I do follow threads and read discussions- this forum has been a great help to me when my Bicirik got sick a couple of years ago. So this is the only place I can come to for any kind of help because the vets here know nothing about...

Hey Marianna! How is Matilda? I haven’t had a chance to check on mine, I hurt my back and I was in pain, hardly able to move. But I heard news that one of them was seen out again-though this is no news to me- but also eating! I don’t know what to do yet, I’ll try and keep an eye on them because...

Mine are still hiding. I found Bicirik at the entrance of his hiding place every day since I first saw him and had to put him back inside myself, not sure what kind of sign is this, and today was very windy and colder and they didn’t come out. We’re expecting rain in the next couple of days and...

I’ve been living here for about 5 years, and it’s been like this all five of them! No blow dry in summer, there’s almost no spring too, even winter passes like spring, take this year for example. But you’re right, maybe they’re confused. Or maybe they prepare to wake up but slowly? I have very...

Oh I know! I lived in Istanbul before but then moved south. The first summer I thought I could never feel the cold again-true story! I thought I became incapable! Hot weather aside, the humidity is too high here in summer, it makes it almost impossible to breathe without a dozen showers a day or...

Your tort looks very healthy and adorable!! :<3::<3:

Thank you so much for your reply! To be honest with you, I wasn’t so very worried yet after seeing that both of my tortoises are out and they’re different ages, and that there were no signs of sickness that I could see, but I’m admittedly very relieved still after reading your message :) There...

Hi, thank you for replying. I checked the weather and for the next couple of days it seems the temps are around 17-20C during the day and as low as 6C during night. Starting next week we’ll have rain probably, day temps will go down to 13C and nights will be 6C or so. The thing is, I haven’t...

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Guys, I’d really like some advice. I checked my Bicirik today, and he’s at the entrance of his hiding place, not moving, eyes closed. The weather is 18C currently, no sun out, just cloudy. I don’t know what to do. He was out yesterday too, but I think he went back inside his spot. His not...

I’m so very sorry to hear about your loss. I don’t even know what else to say, I know how loss feels. Just please know that people care.

Hello everyone, I was out in the garden today and found my Bicirik was out of his hiding spot. His head was out when I spotted him, eyes open but closing every once in a while like he awakened from, well, sleep. I wanted to get a video but my moving around while trying to get my phone seems to...
