I am so sorry for the loss and pain you are feeling. ((Hugs))
I'm so sorry for your loss. as far as reserving her body you could see if there are any taxidermists in your area. Maybe other people have some ideas too.thank you all it really means alot I appreciate it.
I have another horsefield tortoises I've had him two year, they shared an 5ft by 2ft tortoise table and had one side with shavings (no light - with a house to go to sleep) the other side is mud type stuff I got from pets aT home. 100w basking lamp in the side with the mud. Her diet was carrots, sprouts, cabbage, kale, dried dandelion, cucumber and I would put her in the bath every 2 days. Since the weather has been rubbish I haven't put her outside to walk around the garden cause she would get too cold.
I've just been speaking to my parents and I said I don't want to bury her and never see her again, is there any way I can preserve the whole of her body and sheLL and keep her in a air tight glass case/box?
I've just been into my bedroom to give her a kiss and she's cold now,.but still her arm isn't stiff.
I don't not want to leave her alone on her self
I wish I was there to hug you. It is so hard.She's alot colder than what she was, shes now stiff, her eyes don't look sunken in. I guess I'm just trying not to accept that she's not here no more
Every tortoise, dead or alive, is room temperature (unless you put it under a heat bulb) and both can be either stiff or not.Her body will be room temperature, and she will not be stiff
