Warning
Hi there,
I just thought I pass on a dreadful experinece I had last night, so that it doesn't happen to any of you:
I have 4 Hermans torties, ranging from 3 to 8 years. They have been out all summer and sleep in little shelters in my garden. Last night a fox decided to dig round the garden and this morning my 8-year old was lying on his back on the pavement, clearly distressed, and my smallest one is missing all together. There wer signs of digging all around and inside the shelter. It must have dug in and picked up the little one which is the size of a tennis ball. Must have taken it away with him. I'm so upset about it all.
I really don't know what to do now, as I wanted to let them hybernate themselves when they are ready and not bring them in and out of the house all the time.
Anyway, just be aware of these vicious foxes!!!
Julia
