I am looking to buy a baby tortoise. My son's pet guinea pig died, and he has taken it hard, really hard. He loved his guinea pig so much. He said to me after she past "mom, my heart hurts. I lost my child, my daughter." My son has very high functioning autism, and his guinea pig was the high light of his day. He was so sweet, he would read to it, talk to it.
The reason i am interested in a tortoise is because he would make a great tortoise daddy and they will live for a long time, much longer then a guinea pig. The sad thing is we have a dog who is 18 years old and is very much slowing down.
I am thinking next spring would be a great time to buy one.
Thanks
