Yesterday was a sad day!
 
Hi all,

Yesterday, sadly Archimedes passed away at only 4 years old.

She was fine (or at least seemed fine) when I left for work but had gone by the time I came home.

The saddest part was her clutch mate, Galileo, just sitting next to her. I know they don’t have feelings like we do but that made me sad.

Had it been Galileo (the one who doesn’t seem to grow, some will remember) I wouldn’t have been so shocked. I’ve been worried about her on and off for 4 years.

:-(

Oh no Becci, I’m so sorry to hear this. Unfortunately tortoises can hide illness very well, like you said, you wouldn’t have so surprised if it had been little Galileo. But don’t blame yourself, probably nothing you could have done. So sorry.

No I wouldn’t have been, though she’s weeny she’s doing all the right things xx

Sorry for your loss

sorry to hear this Becci. It does get a little better as time goes on and don't dwell too much as suze says they have all sorts wrong sometimes and you just can not tell. CB

Dear Becci
I am very sad for you. What a shock though.
