Ack! My tortoise is missing!

[Dookus]

I put her outside in her "pen" today, then took a nap. she got out and I see her tracks took her under my back porch. She's way underneath, and it's cold.


Anybody know a way to attract a tortoise? I miss my Rosebud!

1. Put a piece of banana and some lettuce out......

......where he/she can get at it and stand back. :evilgrin:

[Dookus]

2. good idea....

she also loves cantaloupe... I suspect she'll be fine, but it's her first night ever outside on her own :(

3. How cold is it where you are

could Rosebud freeze. :( Here Rosebud, here girl (boy?).

As soon as I got up this morning, I looked to see if you had found her. I'm glad you've got her back.:toast:

12. Yay!

Glad to hear it, Dookus. I loooove tortoises, turtles, etc... we have some really neat smallish tortoises here on our mountain with amazing BRIGHT orange eyes, some orange on their shell. I rescue them from the road in the springtime when they cross our rural routes frequently. Came across a LARGE (bigger than a basketball) snapping guy w/tail a few years back, he was heavy but I got him out of the road, too.
