Rescues 179, 180, 181, & 182 at the Vet

The four tortoises I kept from last week made a trip to the vet today to make sure they weren't too sick.

The big sulcata tort is a male and his name is Bunson.
The cherry head is most likely a female and her name is Chiquita.
The smaller sulcata is a female and her name is Red.
The Greek tortoise is a male and his name is Gonzo.

Also, baby Lolly went along for a quick well check and beak trim.

Bunson was NOT happy in his box and got to roam around. 


Gonzo & Lolly both got beak trims. 



All 5 tortosies will stay in quarantine for another couple weeks and then we will see if their respiratory infections improve with adequate heat and a good diet. If they don't, I'll take them back in for treatment. 

Bunson's shell is softer than it should be and he will need a lot more outside time and a much better diet to help him get better. 


Thankfully the visit only came to $385. I was expecting over $500. I could still use some help paying for it though. If you'd like to donate to help pay for their care, please use my PayPal link HERE.
