A sad story but fascinating none the less. Thank you for sharing these pictures with us, nature is both wonderful and cruel all at the same time.

Good luck with whatever you decide is best for them

just an update to let you know that the vets wanted some other vets from out of town to see them so they are still with me but i have decided that having them put to sleep is the kindest thing to do. i think this will be happening on thursday

Oh bless you I have been thinking of you and looking for updates from you all day I wondered how you had gone on. I know its sad but I think you have made the right decision. I dont have my torts yet and I know I'd be devastated to have made the decision that you have, my thoughts are with you hugs (x)

I congratulate you on being able to show us these tortoises to us as most of us would never have to deal with this problem.

I commend you on doing the right thing by going to the vets and taking the brave decision to have them humanly put to sleep, for their sakes.

I will be thinking of you on thursday and please do not feel guilty, you have made the right decision in my mind, and probably many other people's.
Good luck xx

Yes I agree it does seem the right thing to do... Poor you, you must be going through loads of emotions all at once. I too will be thinking of you and them on Thursday. Xx
