Hi CM Hope u don't mind my butting in but just a coincidence abt. tortoise. I was given one, also from Pet S., about 1/1/2 yrs ago. It grew only a little (about 2cm - yes, I measured every month, lol). After about 8 months, it died! It was sneezing so I brought it to vet. Couldn't find anything wrong. Then I went online to consult with an on-line vet. This vet told me to expose it to indirect sunlight. I did, & Hope (tortoise) got a little better for two days. The third day, I found she had already passed on (sigh!). Also, when I brought her to the vet in S.Parade, there was another cat owner who told me her neighbour's s. tortoise also died but don't know if it was from Pet S. Maybe s.tortoises don't do well in captivity or those brought in are not healthy or we don't know enuf to keep them? Just wondering. Also, when I had Hope & did reasearch on-line, found out that s.tortoises are loners by nature. So maybe it may not be good idea to get another unless you have a v. big house for two? Just my thoughts. Cheers Faith
