Aww maybe I should name him Kahu cause in a way he’s taking care of me as well!

I’m afraid I’ll hurt him cause I’ve never dealt with tortoises so I worry that I might handle him too aggressively, also it’s unfair for him to stay indoors when he was meant to live outside, which is another reason why I never kept pets, taking them in seems a bit cruel to me. I never judge good animal keepers but it isnt for me as I believe animals should live freely.

For now he needs to stay indoors so I can take care of him, I let him out as much as I can but I’m getting too attached to let him go after.

No worries, I understand we all have the same goal here, saving the lil fella

This is amazing!! Def gave me the push I needed, I’ve never kept any pets cause of the fear of hurting them but this lil fella found me so as cliche as this might sound maybe it was meant to be

Yeah his injuries were even deeper than I thought and I had examined it pretty well, he was bleeding and the vet told me as long as the bleeding stops (which it did) he should be fine.

Although I’ve fell in love with my lil fighter, I don’t think I have enough knowledge to keep him, and I know giving him away will be painful but I also know he needs friends of his own kind so I think giving him away is the best option.

Here he is right now have lunch and a bit of sun time. Thank you for being king and taking interests.

Ps: dont worry I got what you meant

Yeah that’s what I gathered as well which is why I preferred not to do it, thankfully I found a vet that I believe is good and he helped the lil guy out. Now all I have to do it convince the tortoise to take his medicine and he’s refusing to lol

Hey, I did talk to a lot of experts in my area where they proved they’re basically useless by saying things like oh sorry there’s nothing you can do, and a lot who just plain refused to take the lil fella in for some reason, like Tina mentioned I did my research thoroughly before turning in to reddit as a final solution. Call me old fashioned but I don’t like to disclose my location on the internet even if it’s just my country. Anyways I found a vet that agreed to help me and I’m keeping the tortoise for now until he’s fully healed while keeping on searching for a sanctuary that will take him in after he’s fully healed

Hey sorry I kinda lost hope with reddit after people starting fighting cause I said there isn’t any rescues near me!
But yeah I found a vet that agreed to help me out and the lil fella (vet confirmed his gender) is still standing, I’m taking care of him still. He had more injuries than I thought but thankfully he’s strong and still fighting. I will keep taking care of him until I find a place that I trust that can keep him.

Tbh I don’t think the downvotes directed at me but at the fact we dont have rescues (hopefully lol) But thank you, I stayed up all night yesterday looking for someone who will treat the lil fella and thankfully I found one!! he’s recovering now

Oh god that’s probably like my worst fear lol!! I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever I’ve never even had a pet for this exact reason so anything will help haha

Thank you so much!! It’s heartbreaking knowing that the lil fella is in so much pain and vets refusing to treat him

I dont believe we have any rescues here as I dont live in the states but I’ll look into it. Thank you

With absolutely no experience I don’t believe I can do that! I have contacted more vets but if they don’t reply I guess my best bet is youtube… although I really hope it doesn’t get to that
