Are They going to be DEAD ???? HELP

[AnnV]

I have only ever had 2 shipments of live tortoises and both were Fedex overnight. I can't think of any justification for anything but overnight. That is enough worry in itself.

What a heart attack!

So happy it worked out.

Hello Guys !!
here they are !! all of them are still alive and there were very active when I got them out of the box.
here some pictues....
first the female she was digged up.. but I had to take a pic.
the other female is hiding in her house see pic.. she has little yellow dots on her head. I will take a pic tomorrow
and there is the male.// he was laying in the water--- I thought he was dead.. but then he moved...LOL
so everything is fine.. but they haven't eaten anything yet... maybe they did when I wasn't there. I don't know...
but i'm happy that there are here now.
I want to thank every one of you !! you guys are awesome , like a family thanks for being so positive and helpful all the time.

I'm glad they all made it safe and sound. They might just need some time to unwind before they eat.

I don't know much about boxies and I don't know how they were kept before you, but I think he just feels dehydrated and really wants to dehydrate. Maybe remove him if he's still there before you go to bed tonight...

Very happy to hear these turtles lives weren't lost to the selfishness of the seller. I hope you gave him a piece of your mind after having heard from all of the more experienced turtle buyers, sellers and shippers here.

[SANDRA_MEISSNEST]
