What is it about them that makes them so delicate? are they like real babies in the way that they are very susceptible to disease? it was like one day he was happy and playful the next day he had no interest in anything any more. I really think he digested too much sand. I really would like to know because I would like to get a baby again if I get one, but not just to go through this again. If I don't know what I've done wrong how can I be a good caregiver to another one?

: Kathy,
: I'm so sorry, it must have been heartbreaking for you.
: Give yourself time to grieve, then if you decide to get another tortoise maybe get an older one.
: As Ed said, baby tortoises can be very delicate.
: I'm very sorry for your loss.
: Terry.
