OMG!!!! I was just feeding my little guy Nougat his first full blossom and I was snapping pics to post here. Then went to give my outdoor guys some and as I came down the stairs I saw something drop off one of the rocks on the inside of my pen. It was LOUISE, she has been gone for months and I was positive I lost her. You hear stories here of folks who have searched their pens etc and the have them show up months/ years later. Well heres another one. Terry you said it to me and I said it to you. My pen was picked clean!!! and this girl is back!!!! I brought her in and am soaking her now, she was caked with dryed on dirt. I had to scrubb off her. ANd then my son (14) says, I guess what you'll do next? and I said what, he goes your going to go on your tortoise site aren't you?? I said Yes they care!!!!!
Thanks you for giving me hope, I had definitley given up. Keep the faith. I will post some pics of Nougat later. Louise deseaves the spot light. This pic is 5 minutes after her return home,just minus the dirt.
Just don't know, should I put her back in the same pen. Well I guess it's safe.
