Unfortunately, our little Squirt passed sometime in the night. :cry:

I want to thank everyone on this board. If it weren't for all of you we would never have gotten this far! This is a great resource for turtle owners. I know that we did everything we could. At least he had a family that love him.

Thanks again!
Michelle

Michelle.. I'm so sorry to hear that. You did a great job of taking care of that little one and did everything you possibly could. As you said, he had a family that loved him.

Oh, so sorry about Squirt! Sometimes when we buy turtles from such harsh conditions even the most loving owners can't save them :-(.
You're such a good turtle owner, and you gave Squirt a great life for the time you had him which I'm sure he enjoyed.
