I am looking for advice on trying to get a Geochelone elegans back.
I moved to Florida 5.5 years ago, my torts moved outside, and I have been kind of inactive here on the forum, for years.
But my world has spontaneously become dark and wrought with despair and worry.
Friday night when I went in search of my little Jeffrey, in his 25'x15' cinderblock enclosure, he wasn't to be found. I put them in their heated house every night.
I've now lost several nights sleep, and spent all available hours searching and putting together flyers with REWARD announcement for his return.
Are there any happy endings people can share?!
We live on 6 acres in a nice equestrian community. Hardly anyone drives down our long 800' drive, except delivery ppl. Although I still work full time, my husband is retired and home most days. Unfortunately, he was gone all friday afternoon. We did have deliveries that day.
Cameras on porch, but not directly on tort pen, which is right next to porch.
I may be rambling....I am just so distraught.
The only other possibility, which I hate to think of, is a predator attack. But there was no sign of that. And my much larger redfoot was fine and unbothered.
Any advice on further detective work.
Oh how I regret not having cameras on them. :'(
