Make sure you put lots of posters up. Tell the police and RSPCA. Also any animal rescue
centers near you. As well as any zoo's.

So sorry to hear that your tort has gone missing. But it's early days. Do a fingertip search of the garden (in case she didn't walk out but is dug down somewhere), and check your neighbours' gardens too. If she's only 90mm she could easily be hidden close to home under a bush or a long clump of grass. Fingers crossed for a safe return!

Sorry to hear of your lost tortoise, you must be very worried. As people have said, she may not have got that far, check with neighbours, etc. If she has dug down for the night, she may re-appear, in your garden. I hope you find her, fingers crossed . . .
