Awesome!! I’m so happy to hear this. Thanks for sharing Peggy‘s story.Yeah she is gaining just as much weight as the others. It’s lovely to see that she is doing well we were so worried that she wasn’t happy but she has gotten so much better
She does open her eyes but when the other hatchlings walk around her she doesn’t really know what’s going on it’s only the noise that makes her put her head in.Fantastic, she looks great!!! You can really see how well she’s coming on.
I know you mentioned you’re pretty sure she’s blind. I can’t tell from the photos, does she open her eyes or are they closed all the time?
We are seeing a reptile specialist. May I ask why you think they may be harming her?
Yes we’re sure it’s the same as what we have used for all the others. All of the other hatchlings are perfect as well.also make sure she is not blind because of the lights you have on her... some lights do cause blindness...
Hard thing for you, best thing for Peggy, sorry so much....I have a very unfortunate update. We are sad to say we have had to let Peggy go. After her good day she began to deteriorate (we stopped the antibiotics because we thought they were making her worse.) she began to just sit in the tortoise table or garden with her head in and not moving around. Her eyes had swollen so much that we could barely see them so we decided that we didn’t want her to live a horrible life and guessed that she was probably in pain. We had to do that hardest thing but we are certain it was the best thing for her and she will be in a happier place now.
Thank you it means so much to us that you think this.Thank you for the update. I’m so sorry you had to let little Peggy go. Take comfort in the fact that you did absolutely everything you could and that she is no longer suffering. I can only imagine how difficult that must have been for you to do. The love, care and compassion you showed Peggy while she was here was admirable and I’m sure she appreciated every effort you made to help her. Take care.
Thank you it means so much to us that you think this.
