So today I was getting some of my tortoises ready to hibernate. I already have my greeks inside in a tortoise table. Since it was warm today I asked my husband to put them outside. After soaking some of the hibernation tortoises I decided to use the Greeks sleeping box to hibernate the male Hermann's in. So I asked my husband to dump out the hay that was in there so I could put some fresh hay in. Later that day I was bringing the Greeks back into their tortoise table when I couldn't find one of my Zagros Mountain Greeks. He's about 3-4 inches, but I can usually find them with no issues. After raking the entire enclosure for over an hour, I had to give up because the sun had gone down and I couldn't see. I was really distraught because there is a raccoon that graces my yard nightly and loves to kill my shelled friends. So an hour or two later, after a lot of worry, I began to wonder if he ever got put out. My husband assured me he had. I searched the tortoise table, but he wasn't there. Then I asked him if it was possible he had put him in with another group of tortoises. He said no because he had put them all in their sleeping box and then put the box in the pen. Then I remembered he had dumped all the hay out of that box so I asked if it was possible that he had been thrown away! My husband assured me he would have seen or heard him, and that I was just being ridiculous. Since tomorrow morning is trash day I frantically went out to the trash can, dug through the trash and promptly found my missing tortoise at the bottom!!!! He nearly got taken away with the trash!!! Needless to say, my husband is in the doghouse tonight!
. Btw, sound like you got your hands full. Listen to me, and I have a growin male sulcata, 3 mean screaming kids and a screaming wife most of the time....lol
