Jojo, my 7 week-old sulcata hatchling died today. I brought him home from the pet store about 4 weeks ago. He was weak from day one, but it seemed like his activitiy level was picking up over the last couple of weeks. I took him to the vet two weeks ago because I was worried about him being lethargic. The vet told me that he was fine and that there was nothing to worry about. When I woke up this morning, he was barely moving and wouldn't open his eyes, so I took him to a different vet (from the CTTC vet list) today. He was pretty far gone by the time we got to the vet's office. It was difficult to tell if he was alive. We decided it was best to put him down. Tortoises tend to die slowly and I didn't want him to suffer any more than he already had.
Poor Jojo. I sent Josh an email requesting that the picture of Jojo and the T-Rex be removed from the calender. I think'll be too sad to keep it in.
