I went away last weekend and left my torts in my wife's care. Unfortunately she unplugged the uvb bulb and when she went to turn it back on it didn't turn on immediately (it was too hot). She assumed it was broken and thought nothing of it until the next morning. She then put my three babies into a small plastic bin and left them outside with no water or shade .
I came home and one baby was dead and the others have bloody spots under their scutes. I'm seeing the vet on Thursday.
I'm mad as can be at the situation, but not at her. She thought since my adults live outside, the baby's could, too. This just shows if you have someone caring for them, prepare for any and all situations and have a knowledgeable person to call if a problem arises.
