My Dear's Star Tortoises
T's Family
Saw Lean Shin's post on her Star Tortoise recently. She really takes good care of her star tortoise. It gave me the idea of sharing my dear's star tortoises too.
My dear took up an expensive hobby while we were studying in KL - rearing star tortoises. Initially, we bought two : Big - T and Small - T. They grow quite fast, from tiny tortoises to big ones. But still not as big as those you can see in pet shops.

Then, he bought another small one : Baby - T.

When we were having semester break in Penang, he bought Not - T from Chew's Pet Shop. Not - T is not a healthy tortoise and passed away shortly. I buried him in the compound of Apartment Kenari and even made a tombstone for it.Later, Big - T developed running nose and was feeling not well. He cannot open his eyes and he doesn't take food at all. My dear was so worried about him and we hunted down all those vets in Setapak area and were told that they do not how to diagnose star tortoises. Finally, we sent him to Ikano Power Centre where he was warded for three days for injections. Guess what, the hospitalization bill came to about RM 100. He recovered finally but doesn't last long. He passed away eventually. I missed him a lot as he is among those T's that I loved the most.
Next, comes he turn of Baby - T. He passed away in my house. I never realized that he is dead until my dear discovered him in the evening.
Now, we are left with Small - T, alone..
