Missing Hermann Tortoise
We are devastated. Our much loved 8 year old Hermann tortoise George has gone missing. He has disappeared from our garden about a week ago. We live in Gloucester. If anyone hears of anything remotely helpful I would REALLY appreciate it xxxxxx

Oh that's terrible! Keeping everything crossed for you that George is found and brought safely back home soon.

Has he possibly dug down to hibernate? I would do a thorough check you may find he is hiding Good luck

Hi,
Thanks for the kind words x I've just re-done the garden this week, I'm very sure he's not there and we're having a bit of a hot spell at the moment so usually he would be out sunning himself somewhere on the grass. I will definitely let you know when he comes home! xxxxxx |

I don't know. He's been in the garden for 3 years and not got out. I had just changed the garden around a bit, maybe he got confused and found a way out. The only hole possible is up the side of the conservatory (which we didn't know about) and would take a bit of getting too. I'd hate to think someone took him, he isn't easy to spot in the garden as he's not in a pen.
It's awful, I'm feeling very despondent at the moment |

Did you put in new plants cos mine will dig in any earth that has been disturbed or loosened and can go really quite deep down?
