Definitely sad about platypus, he was 26 years old can you believe that lady had him that long in his condition. The others seemed ok here, sad that they perished though, not sure how old those were. Some lady scoops them off craigslist and send them to us. Some do great and others not so much. Rescuing is very difficult sometimes indeed. But don't let that get you down, they had a lovely happy trip back and great ending of a life with a caring keeper,Platypus died 2 days after we got home and this was the one with MBD, the bigger one with deformed plastron. He was real skinny and I couldn't get him to eat anything. Then this awful prolapse. I have pictures, but the computer is only half working. The other 3 are eating well and acting normal. One has shell rot, but it's not much and I'm not too concerned. I'm sure these 3 will live and be healthy. Even the little deformed one is eating and fighting for his food he's tough, and they are fun to watch.
