Bless you... You must feel awful and I know that whatever anyone thinks you still feel bad. You fought hard for the little fella off ebay and that speaks volumes.
Don't give up on them.. They need you
Thinking of you xx

Oh Linds, I'm so very sorry this has happened but as everyone has said, it could happen to any one of us. You're obviously a loving & caring person and if I'd had any babies, I'd give you one. Please don't give up. Tortoise-keeping would be much worse off without people like you xxx

Linds, I'm so sorry. As any loss is horrible and unthinkable you need to give yourself time to grieve. We are all thinking of you during this difficult time. Your torts are lucky to have you despite what you feel right now. Don't give up.

Linds, please please please don't give up something which you so dearly love, I can only echo what everyone else on here has said, that you are a kind and caring person who did nothing wrong, sadly sometimes these things just happen. It has to me. The torty world needs you hun

Oh I feel so bad for you, after such an exciting week this awful tragedy, but as everyone has said accidents happen all the time, I lost a baby tort last year and it is heartbreaking. Tortoises need people like you though and your other babies will help you get through...I was so pleased when you got Bowser, don't give up...Thinking of you xxx

so sorry to hear, it is always sad when things like that happen but don't blame yourself and don't give up, earlyer on in the year I had a tort flip over during the night and I found him in the morning and he could not get his head out the shell but strangely another one of my torts had his head stuck too and they both passed together that day, I considered giving up but so glad I didn't, accidents and tragitys happen, he will always be remembered just don't blame yourself.

Linds I'm truly gutted for you. Bad things seldom happen to bad people and you are without a doubt one of the good ones.

Please don't give up, torts need more people like you looking out for them.

Take care, hope you'll be back soon.
