It sounds messed up, but I would check all the selling apps, Craigslist, OfferUp , LetGo. And any other.
Put like 100 mile distance, incase somebody trying to avoid your area

Same, I hope not but it seems weird not even one has been found. I would keep an eye on local for sale sites like Craigslist, offer up, etc. You never know. In any case though I'm so sorry your having to deal with this :(

Wow, so sorry. Beautiful RF. I sure hope you find them and they weren't stolen. Please keep us posted and don't give up looking. Members have found lost torts months later. Fingers crossed you find yours much sooner.

When I was like 5, my brother lost his tortoise

2 years later my brother was walking outside the house and found a picture on the floor. It was a Polaroid of my neighbor with our tortoise[emoji23]

When we confronted him, he said it's his and had it 4 ever. We brought all our pictures and was able to I.D. It, and he gave it back. Honestly he probably just thought we were just trying to steal his tortoise. Once he seen our pics, he gave it back.

Tortoise got lost again like 4 months later. We never found it, but always suspected it escaped to the neighbor again[emoji23]

Update! Two were found today!!! We are still looking for Aden, the one with all yellow markings. We are so much more optimistic now!!!
Great news! Hopefully you will find the third one!
How were the 2 found? Did you locate them?
